Instructions: Lay tomatoes on a baking sheet sprinkle with salt and pepper and splash with olive oil.

Bake in a 220C/425F/Gas Mark 7 oven for 8 minutes.

Keep warm.

Meanwhile toast the bread and butter on one side.

Top the buttered side with a layer of cheese spread with a little mustard and cover with another layer of cheese.

Melt and lightly brown the cheese under a hot grill.

To serve top each piece of toast with a vine of tomatoes and scatter over the chives

This is a good one for when youre entertaining and want something classic it looks like youve made a real effort but actually takes minutes to do. Vary things from time to time: instead of using mustard rub the toast with a halved clove of garlic or even a few dried garlic flakes sprinkled between the layers of cheese.

Serves 4
