3 slices goat’s cheese or herb cream cheese (1 cm slices)
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp olive oil

Pea purée

Put the peas and cheese in the blender bowl.
Add water and oil and blend thoroughly.
Season with salt and pepper.
If the purée is too dry, add more water or oil.
Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Finishing touches

Slice the baguette.
Brush the bread with your favourite olive oil if desired.
Spread the pea purée on the bread and top with an anchovy.
Briefly grill the bread on the barbecue, aiming for grill marks on the underside. Watch closely: it can go from crisp to burnt very quickly.
