Instructions

Step 1

Roughly chop or slice larger berries. Place all the berries into a small non-stick frying pan with 2 teaspoons water. Place over medium-high heat, cook, shaking pan often for 1-2 minutes until berries are warm. Remove from the heat, spoon over the vanilla. Stand 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can place frozen berries in a microwave-safe dish and microwave them on medium to high heat for 30-60 seconds, then add vanilla essence.

Step 2

Combine the basil and cottage cheese. Spoon ½ cup onto the toast. Spoon over ½ cup of berries and their juices. Top with nuts and extra basil leaves if you like.

Step 3

Spoon the remaining basil cottage cheese and berries into a small bowl to have with bruschetta or spoon into a small container and have as a snack mid-morning.
