A recipe that takes a little time โ€” but is so worth it.
Iโ€™ve shared the full recipe and step-by-step method on the website.

Add them to a slice of buttered bread, pop everything in the oven for a few minutesโ€ฆ and your summer apรฉritif is ready. ๐ŸคŽ

Sweet, savory, melty and slightly crisp โ€” but most importantly, wonderfully simple.

The finishing touch? A little drizzle of honey while everything is still warm. โœจ
