Guacamole is one of those foods that’s easy to make. But Ed’s got a recipe to take your guac to a whole new level. For a great guacamole you need something equally delicious to go with it, and you won’t find a better accompaniment than his fig and pecan toasties. These are amazing on their own, but served with the guacamole, the flavours bring out the best of each other, making it the most luxurious entertaining snack.

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

Sea-salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper

1 red onion, very finely diced

1 green jalapeño chilli, seeded and very finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

½ bunch coriander leaves, very finely chopped

½ bunch chives, finely sliced

½ tsp ground cumin

2 roma tomatoes, seeded and finely diced

8 slices white bread, crusts removed

75g unsalted butter, at room temperature

2 Tbsp fig jam

1 Tbsp yellow American mustard

8 slices tasty cheese

½ cup pecans, chopped

Natural corn chips, to serve

Method

Halve and seed avocados, then scoop flesh into a bowl. Mash coarsely with a fork, then mix in lime zest and juice with oil. Season.

Stir onion, jalapeño, garlic, coriander, chives, cumin and tomato into avocado mixture, then set aside.

Spread one side of bread slices with butter, then turn over. Spread 4 pieces of bread with fig jam and 4 with mustard. Put a slice of cheese on each bread slice, scatter with pecans, before sandwiching bread slices together as pairs.

Cook in a jaffle maker or sandwich press until golden and cheese is melted. Cut into triangles. Serve jaffles with guacamole and corn chips.
