Breakfasts Without Bacon; Cheese & Green Things Topped Toast
OK, so I'm sure you are all aware of the amazing combo that is cheese and cucumber, but do you have it for breakfast? No? Well, you should. It's light, refreshing, filling and scrumptious. Convinced? No?Alright, I admit it, this post is less of a recipe and more of a chance to rave about a very local cheese, made from very local milk and available at a very local market.
So, what is this cheese I am loving so much? It is one of Blackwoods Cheese Company's soft offerings which are available at Brockley Market. The milk they use is from Commonwork, an organic community farm in Sevenoaks, the cheese is made in Brockley and the results are stunning. Today's toast topper was their jarred soft cheese in oil. I'm sure it probably has a proper name, but I don't know it and they also have a creamy soft cheese with chilli that comes in a tub, which I also don't know the name of, but who cares what it's called when it is also stonking and delicious on toast?! So I don't suppose it matters too much if you mix them up, if it's Blackwoods you're guaranteed to be getting a beautiful artisan cheese. In fact, you might as well buy both. I haven't tried any of their hard cheeses yet, but I look forward to popping there this weekend and maybe sampling a blue or something else creamy and dribble inducing. Anyway, you should all get down there and buy these cheeses pleases. But make sure you leave some for me, or I may gnaw through your bag for life and steal your jar of curdy happiness. Ahem. Sooooo then, you'd best have my er...recipe(?!) for...

Mozzarella & Basil:
