Soft cream cheese with garlic toasts

Another simple recipe, perfect for sharing with friends...

What do I need?

6 pitted green olives
chopped fresh chives, tarragon and mint, a table spoon of each
unwaxed lemon, grated lemon zest. Lemon zest has quite a strong taste so be moderate with your sprinkle!
ricotta cheese
large baguette
1 garlic clove, halved

How do I do it?

Mix the green olives, chopped herbs in a bowl and leave to one side
Slice the baguette and place under the grill on medium for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown or just pop them in the toaster. They only need to crisp up a little bit. Make sure you keep an eye on them as they won't need long in the toaster
Once your baguette is toasted, rub the garlic halves over toast slices
Place a spoonful of ricotta dip on each of your mini toasts
Sprinkle the mix of olives and herbs on top of each toast
Add a dollop of chilli jam on each toast
Garnish with some of the remaining chopped herbs and add a little lemon rind on the top
