A great one for parties, it always disappears very quickly. It also works as a pancake filling or served on toast or pitta bread or with crudités as a starter

175g tin of cannelloni beans, drained and rinsed with water

175g plain cottage cheese

12 black olives, stoned

1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped

1 tbsp light olive oil

1 tbsp single cream

2 eggs

• Hard boil the eggs for 10 minutes. Cool, peel and chop the egg whites finely. Set aside (The yolks are not used so could be added to another recipe)

• Add chopped egg white, and place in fridge until ready to serve
