Blackberry, Goat's Cheese & Pine Nut Toasts

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 5 mins | Total: 15 mins | Quantity: 1 Portion

Ingredients

  • handful of fresh (or frozen) blackberries
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • handful of pine nuts
  • 2 thick slices crusty wholemeal bread
  • 1 spring onion
  • few basil leaves
  • 2 tblsp vegan goat’s cheese or cream cheese
  • Sea salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Put the blackberries into a small saucepan with the maple syrup and gently warm for a couple of minutes
  2. Put the pine nuts in a small frying pan and toast over a low flame for a couple of minutes - keep your eye on these, they have a tendency to be perfectly cooked one minute and black the next!  Stir or toss a few times while toasting
  3. Thinly slice the spring onion and shred the basil leaves
  4. When you're ready to assemble toast your bread, thickly spread over the goat's cheese, sprinkle over the spring onion, basil and pine nuts then top with the warm blackberries
  5. Sprinkle over just a small pinch of salt and a couple of grinds of fresh black pepper
  6. Enjoy! :)
