Your Turn To Create

For Velvety Crostinis
  • Add the sliced radishes to a small bowl and squeeze over the juice of 1 lemon. Set aside in the fridge.
  • Bring a griddle pan to medium heat. Add the asparagus and sugar snap peas, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and cook for 6-7 minutes or until char marks start to show, tossing every so often.
  • Add the peas to a small mixing bowl with the juice of half a lemon, 3/4 of the mint, and a pinch of salt and pepper and mash with the back of a fork.
  • Scoop one tub of Boursin Velvety into the peas and mix well to combine. Taste and add more lemon for freshness, if necessary. Set aside.
  • Grill the slices of bread on each side until golden.
  • Arrange the crostinis onto a large serving platter and drizzle with olive oil.
