Method:

1. Sauté the mushrooms and garlic in 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan over medium heat for 7-10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cooking juices they release have evaporated.

2. Transfer the mushrooms to a food processor or blender with the cheese and enough of the remaining oil to make a smooth cream.

3. Season with salt and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Spread the cream over the toasted bread and serve.
