SERVES: 4–6, PREPARATION TIME: 5

MINUTES COOKING TIME: 10 MINUTES

1 baguette (ends removed and sliced

into 4 bruschetta or 8 canapés)

8 tablespoons Frico Maasdam cheese

(grated)

1 large avocado (cut into small cubes)

1 large tomato (cut into small cubes)

1 handful coriander (chopped)

1 lime (juiced)

tablespoons of grated Maasdam cheese

or if you’re doing canapés – sprinkle

only 1 tablespoon per piece. Place them

in the oven for 10 minutes or until cheese

has melted.

In the meantime, dice avocados and

deseeded tomatoes and toss together.

Add chopped coriander, lime juice,

paprika and salt and pepper. Toss

all carefully.

Place the bruschetta/canapés on

the serving plate, distribute the

avocado mixture equally on each

bread slice. Drizzle with balsamic

reduction and serve.

Frico cheese originates from the

unique open landscapes of Northern

Holland. For generations this area has

been expertly crafting cheese from

milk of the famous Frisian cows, to

produce pure and tasty cheese. For
