Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Roll out 200 g puff or flaky pastry (pâte feuilletée) into a disc about 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter.

Slip this onto a sheet of cooking parchment, laid on a baking sheet.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 25 min.

Lay a second baking sheet on top of the pastry and bake for 20 to 25 minutes...

Stage 3 - ⌛ 5 min.

...until the pastry disc is golden brown. Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 5 min.

Meanwhile, mix 150 g cream cheese with the chopped 2 tablespoons herbs of your choice in a bowl. Salt lightly (depending on the cheese you are using) and pepper generously.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 5 min.

Prepare 2 avocados...

Stage 6 - ⌛ 5 min.

...then slice thinly. Sprinkle with the juice of 1 lime, salt lightly and mix very gently.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 2 min.

Spread the herby cream cheese over the pastry base.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 6 min.

Arrange the avocado slices on top.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 1 min.

Brush the avocado with a little more lime juice.

Finish by scattering a few fine fresh coriander leaves over and, if possible, some chive flowers.

Remarks

For more flavour impact, add a finely chopped shallot or a couple of shakes of Tabasco to the cream cheese and herbs. In stage 9 use the lime juice left over from stage 6.

Keeping: Should be eaten the same day.
