Bring a large pan of water to
the boil and cook the broad beans for 2-3 mins. Drain,
then rinse in cold water to cool, drain again then remove
the outer skins. Mash the beans with the lemon juice (can
be done in a blender or with a fork),
1tbsp of the extra virgin olive oil and garlic, then stir
in the chopped mint.

Cook the demi baguettes
according to pack instructions. Leave to cool for 3 mins
before slicing each one into 6 pieces. Toast each side of
the slices of bread until golden and drizzle with the
remaining oil.

Spread over the broad bean mix
and top with the cheese. Scatter over extra mint leaves,
if you like.

Recipe tips / Prepare
ahead To take on a picnic: All the separate bits
can be made ahead for assembling at the picnic – pack up a
pot of the prepared broad bean mix and a pot of the mashed
cheese. Toast the bread, but don’t drizzle with the oil
until ready to serve. Take a knife with you for spreading,
or just use the bread to scoop up the beans and cheese.
