Warren Elwin has taken liberties, twisting the gremolata idea to create toppings to add a healthy zing and maybe a bit of crunch to almost anything.

1 cup	Cheddar cheese, and parmesan, freshly grated
1 Tbsp	Sesame seeds
1 tsp	Poppy seeds
2 rashers	Bacon, crispy crumbled or finely chopped
1 handful	Chives, chopped
2 Tbsp	Breadcrumbs

Mix cheddar and parmesan cheese with sesame seeds, poppy seeds and some freshly ground black pepper.
Spread out on baking paper and bake in a hot oven until bubbly and golden. Set aside to cool then crumble and mix with crispy crumbled or finely chopped bacon, chives and breadcrumbs.
Serve sprinkled on soups, roasted vegetables and cooked greens to add some crunchy flavour, or sprinkle on to a batch of scones before baking.
