👩‍🍳 Gör så här

1. 1
   Heat broiler. Heat 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature, and 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook 4 thick slices sourdough or French bread, turning once, until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Repeat with 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil and remaining 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature, and 4 thick slices sourdough or French bread. Arrange slices on a baking sheet.
2. 2
   Place two 15-oz. cans chickpeas, rinsed, in a large bowl. Using a wooden spoon, potato masher, or your hands, coarsely crush some of the chickpeas, keeping pieces fairly large (leave at least one third of the chickpeas whole). Add ½ small red onion, finely chopped, 2 celery stalks, finely chopped, 8 oz. extra sharp cheddar, coarsely grated, ½ cup coarsely chopped cornichons, and ½ cup coarsely chopped dill; drizzle with oil and season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Mix well.
3. 3
   Pile some chickpea salad on top of each toast, covering edge to edge. Broil until cheese is melted, 3–4 minutes.
4. 4
   Sprinkle toasts with flaky sea salt; drizzle with hot sauce. Serve with potato chips if desired.
