Instructions:

Prepare the Mushroom and Corn Filling:
- Heat 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil in a preheated pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped garlic and onion. SautΓ© for about 2-3 minutes, or until the onions become soft and turn golden brown.
- Add the sliced button mushrooms to the pan along with 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to soften and the moisture to evaporate, leaving them perfectly roasted.
- Add the sweet corn to the mushrooms, followed by a pinch of salt and the 3 tablespoons of Britannia Mexican Chilli Cheese Spread. Stir well to combine, ensuring the cheese melts and coats the mushrooms and corn evenly.
- Once everything is well mixed and heated through, turn off the heat and set the mixture aside.

Toast the Bread:
- Butter the whole wheat brown bread slices generously on one side.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and place the buttered side of the bread slices onto the pan. Flip the slices after a couple of minutes to toast both sides until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, remove the bread from the pan and place it on a serving platter.
