Greek | Starter

Ingredients  

• 225g Strawberries
• 220g Cherry Tomatoes
• 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
• 300g Goat Cheese
• 120g Greek Yoghurt
• 100g Heavy Cream
• 2 tbsp Basil Pesto
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 4 slices White Bread

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Halve the tomatoes and add into a baking tin. Drizzle with balsamic, olive oil, season with salt and pepper, roast for 20-25 mins until softened and bubbling.
3. Meanwhile, add the goats cheese, Greek yoghurt and heavy cream into a bowl. Whisk together until fluffy. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the whipped cheese mixture into a piping bag or sandwich bag.
4. Stir the pesto and olive oil together. Halve the strawberries, quartering any large ones.
5. Cut the tip of the piping/sandwich bag off and pipe the whipped goat's cheese onto a piece of bread - if you aren’t piping it, spread it on thick, using the back of a spoon. Drizzle over the pesto. Stir the strawberries into the tomatoes and spoon onto the toast. Finish with a crack of fresh black pepper.
