Apple and Manchego Crostini

Yield: 4 servings

¼ ciabatta, cubed

1 tbsp garlic oil

1 apple, cored and cut into 16 wedges (Pink Lady Apple)

2 oz mancheo cheese, cut into 8 cubes

1 tbsp snipped fresh chives

Cut the ciabatta into eight cubes, trimming the edges so the cubes sit straight on a board.

Heat a griddle pan until really hot. Brush the ciabatta cubes with the garlic oil and griddle for two to three minutes, turning until lightly charred all over. Remove and put onto a board.

Add the apple wedges to the griddle pan and cook for two to three minutes, turning halfway until lightly charred.

To assemble, top each cube of bread with two slices of apple, a cube of cheese and a sprinkle of chives. Secure with a cocktail stick and serve.
