Lockdown lunches 3: Aubergine crostini

Here’s your third helping of lockdown lunches, perfect for this scorching weather! 🔥 I love how simple this recipe is, no need for a ton of ingredients but also super delicious and feels indulgent but healthy. Again it’s very customisable, add some chilli flakes to finish or wedges of creamy mozzarella on top, you could even add some avo or go all out and pop some sliced chorizo in with your tomatoes. Whether you’re soaking up the sun abroad, staycationing or living it up in the costa del Londres, it’s a really great lunch to whip up. Enjoy the sun, have a fab weekend! ☀️
