Preheat the oven to 180°C. Toss the mushrooms in the olive oil and season to taste, then spread out in an even layer on a baking tray and roast for 10–15 minutes.
Increase the oven’s temperature to its highest and add the brandy, rosemary and butter and roast for a further 5–10 minutes.
To make the fondue, simmer the lemon juice and white wine in a small saucepan for 15 minutes. Mix the cornflour with 1 t water to make a slurry. Add the grated cheese to the saucepan and stir until melted and well combined. Stir in the cornflour and cook for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with the mushrooms on the toast with the speck and anchovies.
