Ingredients

  • 2 slices of hovisⓡ granaryⓡ medium sliced
  • 40 ml of extra virgin olive oil
  • 50 g of basil
  • 25 g of pine nuts
  • 25 g of parmesan
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 200 g of cherry tomatoes, on the vine
  • 150 g of mature cheddar, sliced

Method

  1. Step 1

    To make the pesto, blitz the garlic and parmesan in a food processor to break it up.
  2. Step 2

    Add the pine nuts and basil and blitz briefly until roughly chopped and then drizzle in the olive oil with a little salt and pulse until just combined.
  3. Step 3

    Once the pesto is ready, grill the tomatoes on medium for 8-10 minutes or until softened, then grill that lovely HovisⓇ GranaryⓇ on one side.
  4. Step 4

    Turn over and lay the cheese on top. Grill for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden.
  5. Step 5

    Remove from the grill, drizzle over 2-3 tbsp of pesto and serve with the grilled tomatoes.
