2tbsp green olive tapenade
100g/3 ½ oz Edam cheese (sliced)
8 thin slices of chorizo

This is a posh version of one of my old favourites – Cheese rarebit!
Pre-heat grill. Toast one side of the bread slices until golden. Place un-toasted side up on a baking sheet and spread with olive tapenade. Top each with slices of Edam and chorizo and finish with a little more tapenade.
Place under the grill until melted and bubbling hot.
Top with peppery watercress leaves, drizzle with a little olive oil and serve straight away.
