A ''''''' (; plural: ', ) is a toasted open-face sandwich made of a sliced baguette or other long roll of bread, topped with sautéed white mushrooms, cheese and sometimes other ingredients, such as ham. Served hot with ketchup, it has been a popular street food in Poland since the 1970s.
== Etymology == The Polish word ' comes from the verb ', which means "to bake a dish so that its ingredients combine, and a crispy, browned crust forms on top," and may refer to various casseroles and other foods prepared in this manner.
