    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    150g sliced white bread, cut into 2cm chunks
    1 tbsp olive oil
    50g pecans, roughly chopped
    2 royal gala apples, thinly sliced
    1 romaine lettuce, torn
    100g Stilton, crumbled

    WASTE NOT: PECANS

    Roughly chop and toss through a crumble topping mixture before baking, for added texture and flavour. It's extra delicious if you use demerara sugar.
