Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celcius, fan bake setting (356 degrees Fahrenheit).
Add the pine nuts to your mortar and grind them well. If you don`t have a mortar you can also use a food processor.

Cover a baking trey in parchment paper and pour the mixture for your topping onto the parchement paper. Spread the mixture out in a thin layer.
Place the trey with the topping mixture in the middle of the oven and let it bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on it for the last couple of minutes and take the trey out when you can see that all of the topping mixture has been baked.

Once the topping has cooled down, use a spatula to get the topping off of the parchment paper.
Add your crispy cheesy topping to a glass or a small bowl, to be placed on the table with the salad.
