Pet peeve, but it makes no sense to name a sandwich a "cheesesteak" that contains neither cheese nor steak. This is an easy and delicious hot mushroom sandwich--which is what Nigella calls it--and it benefits from a little mustard to bring out the flavors, but a cheesesteak it is not. Enough "alternative facts" people!

Oh my, this was yummy! I scaled this down for a light supper for me. I did add a tsp. of mayo, and threw a few potato chips on top for some crunch. Thank you so much for posting! :)
