In a large bowl, smash up the avo, then gradually rub in the flour, a pinch of sea salt and 4 tablespoons of cold water until you have a dough. Knead until smooth, then wrap and rest for 15 minutes.,

STEP 4
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas ,

Evenly pour in the filling and bake for another 15 minutes, or until set, then finely grate over the remaining cheese.,
