Chilli and sweet spring onion feta on ciabatta toast

Ingredients:

Block of feta cheese - 1.17

3 or 4 spring onions (reduced from 85p to 20p) - 5p

1 fresh red chilli (reduced from 65p to 25p) - 5p

Piece of ciabatta (reduced from 95p to 65p) - 45p

Olive oil

Lemon juice

A little brown sugar (optional)

Freshly ground black pepper

~

Slice the cheese into four pieces- half and half again.

Roughly slice the spring onion, and finely slice the chilli.

Put the cheese into a grill-proof dish, scatter over the spring onion and chilli, and sprinkle generously with olive oil, squirt with lemon juice and sprinkle with a little brown sugar and fresh ground pepper.

Grill until soft and charred.  The sugar will 'caramalise' the onion if you use it, and contrast with the sharpness of the lemon juice and salty feta.

Serve on toasted ciabatta, drizzling the juice onto the toast before topping with the cheese, onion and chilli.

Omit the brown sugar for a more piquant and less sweet taste.
