Take the part baked rolls out of the packaging and place on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut out an oblong hole from the top of the rolls. Scoop out the bread, ensuring you don’t pierce the bottom of the rolls.
4 part-baked petit pains or rolls
Place the rolls on a baking tray. Discard the scooped-out bread (or save it to use for homemade breadcrumbs or croutons).
Mix together the mushrooms, cream cheese, creme fraiche, and garlic in a bowl. Stir the cheese and the black pepper.
8 small mushrooms, 120 g (1/2 cup) cream cheese, 3 tbsp creme fraiche, 1 garlic clove, 50 g (1/2 packed cup) mature cheddar cheese, 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
Spoon the mixture into the bread rolls.
Top the stuffed bread rolls with a little more cheese.
25 g (1/4 packed cup) mature cheddar cheese
Place in the oven and cook for 10 minutes – until the bread and cheese is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Notes
What to do with the leftover scooped out bread
Use for dipping! Drizzle with olive oil and a little salt and pepper, then place in the oven with the stuffed breads
Make breadcrumbs: Grate or whizz in a food processor, then place in a bag and freeze.
Make croutons: Chop into 1 cm pieces, drizzle with oil, salt and pepper and bake in the oven at 200C/400F for 5-8 minutes, until golden.
Make garlic bread bites: Brush/spread on garlic butter and bake in the oven at 200C/400F for 3-5 minutes, until golden, but still a little soft.
Make cheese-on-toast toppers for soup: Top with grated cheese, then grill (broil) until the cheese is bubbling.
Can I make it ahead?You can make the filling ahead of time, or make the filling and stuff the breads (but don't bake). Make up to a day ahead, then store, covered, in the refrigerator until ready to bake.I wouldn't recommend baking the stuffed breads ahead of time, then reheating as I think the breads would go too hard and crispy.Ingredient swapsKeep the cream cheese, creme fraiche and cheddar, and then add what you like....
