A really easy toastie recipe with the added nutrition from chia seeds to make the quickest jam ever! The chia seeds soak up any liquid from the crushed blackberries, helping to thicken the juices so it works as a spread for the toastie, whilst adding a little extra fibre and healthy polyunsaturated fats. The sweet sharpness of the seasonal blackberries contrasts perfectly with the creamy brie, and the crunch of the sourdough.
Serves 1
Ingredients
- 100g blackberries
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 60g brie
- 2 slices of seeded sourdough
- 1 tsp honey (optional if the berries are too tart)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Method
- Mash the blackberries and chia seed together and leave for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
- Once the jam is “set” spread it onto slices of sourdough, and top with slices of brie and honey if needed. Sandwich the second piece of bread over the top.
- Heat a skillet over a low-medium heat and add 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Cook the toastie on one side for 3-5 minutes till golden brown. Brush the second side of bread with the remaining oil before flipping and cooking.
- Serve immediately.
