Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven broiler to high.

Step 2

2. Make the pickled onion . Put the serrano chile, onion, vinegar, and a tiny pinch of salt into a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside to soften and pickle while you continue with the rest.

Step 3

3. Heat 1½ tablespoons of the oil in a medium sauté pan on medium-high heat. Cook the ginger and garlic until lightly golden and fragrant, stirring often, 2–3 minutes. Add the spices and cook for 30 seconds before stirring in the butter beans, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and plenty of black pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly, 5–10 minutes. Once cool, stir in the cilantro, cream, and cheese.

Step 4

Place the bread on a small baking sheet and broil for 2 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip over, and drizzle the untoasted sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Top each with the butter bean mixture and return to the oven broiler for 4–5 minutes, or until golden and bubbly

Step 5

To serve, spoon half the pickled onion mixture over the top, serving the rest in a bowl alongside.
