WHAT YOU NEED

MELBA TOAST

4 SPAR Freshline Hot Cross

Buns (we used the extra-

spicy variety)

50g SPAR Salted Butter,

melted

salt, to taste

TO ASSEMBLE

SPAR cheeses of choice (we

used French Camembert, blue

cheese and white Cheddar)

SPAR Freshline

Seedless Grapes

Easter eggs of your choice

1 whole pomegranate, halved

(optional)

edible flowers (optional)

pickles/jams of your choice

(optional)

HOW TO DO IT

1 For the Melba toast, preheat

the oven to 160°C. Spray a

baking sheet with non-stick

cooking spray. Set aside.

2 Very thinly slice the hot cross

buns widthways using a sharp

bread knife. Arrange the slices

on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush each slice with the

melted butter and sprinkle

with a little salt. Bake in the

preheated oven until golden

brown, about 5 – 10 minutes.

Be sure to keep a close eye

on the Melba toast which can

easily burn. Remove from oven

and set aside to cool slightly.

3 To assemble, place the

cheeses on a large platter.

Arrange the grapes, Easter

eggs, pomegranate halves,

edible flowers and pickles/

jams around the cheeses, if

desired. Add the hot cross bun

Melba toast to complete your

cheeseboard. Dig in!
