It cooks for one hour but comes together in moments. Use whatever seeds you have - linseeds, poppy seeds, hemp or sesame would all work well - or replace them with some chopped nuts. Load it up with hummus, cottage cheese, or avocado for a hearty, savoury slice of toast, or top it with nut butter and fruit for a sweet snack or light breakfast.
