You can make this the night before, just remove the mushroom stalks and chop finely. Clean the caps and place gill-side up in a lightly greased roasting tin. Mix the butter, thyme and some seasoning and spread over each one. Scatter with the stalks.
Pull the sausage meat into small pieces and pile onto the mushrooms with the lardons and tomato. Season lightly, cover and chill overnight.
The next morning, preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas mark 4. Bake for 15 minutes or until the bacon and sausage are lightly golden and the mushrooms have softened. Remove, sprinkle each mushroom with cheese and bake for a further 5 minutes.
