Ingredients

• Runner Beans (about four per portion) or courgettes (one regular per portion)
• Spring Onion - two per portion
• Oil for frying 
• Cheese for topping - about 50g per portion. Gorgonzola, Stilton, Kentish Blue, Dolcelatte, Feta, Mozzarella, Parmesan and Ashmore all work!
• Good quality bread - we used sourdough, two slices per portion.
• Olive oil for drizzling on bread
• Salt & Pepper
• Chopped nuts to top - optional, we used walnuts

How To

• Prep your runner beans and/ or courgette and spring onion by slicing finely.
• Put some oil into a frying pan and gently fry your sliced veg.
• Toast your bread to your liking.
• Once it is toasted pop it on a plate, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
• When veg is cooked pop your cheese on top to melt slightly and turn the heat off. Transfer veg and cheese to toast.
• Sprinkle with nuts.
• Drizzle with a drop more olive oil and season to taste.  Enjoy.
