Serves 2 people

Ingredients

2 slices of Hovis Seed Sensations
150g soft cheese (cream cheese)
a handful of fresh parsley
a few sprigs of fresh thyme
100g raw king prawns (peeled)
10–12 cherry tomatoes (halved)
1-2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
1 ripe avocado (sliced)
a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
a pinch of saffron (optional)
salt and pepper to taste.
Steamed or griddled asparagus tips

Tip

If you fancy an extra kick, sprinkle a pinch of dried chilli flakes over the garlic prawns while they are still in the pan. The heat of the oil will "wake up" the spice, perfectly balancing the cooling herb spread and rich avocado.

Method

Finely chop your garden herbs. In a small bowl or food processor, blend the herbs with the soft cheese until smooth and vibrant green. Set aside.

Adding cream cheese to a food processor with fresh herbs and a wooden board of chopped parsley and thyme nearby.

Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and prawns. Once the prawns start to turn pink, toss in the halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté for a few minutes until the prawns are cooked through and the tomatoes have softened slightly. Season with a pinch of salt.

Place your slices of Hovis Seed Sensations in the toaster until golden brown and firm enough to hold the toppings.

Generously spread the herb-infused soft cheese over the warm toast and layer on the creamy avocado slices. Spoon the warm garlic prawns and tomatoes over the top. Finish with a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of saffron for a floral touch.
