Everyone loves a person who shows up to social occasions bearing snacks.
Quick, easy and cheap to make — pesto toast works great as a quick snack or an appetizer to share. Follow these five simple steps for a finger food that will disappear in a crowd faster than Hannibal Lecter at the end of “The Silence of the Lambs.”
Here’s all you need:
– One sourdough baguette.
– One tub of pre-made pesto sauce.
– One or two cups of shredded Parmesan.
– About one-third cup of mayonnaise, give or take.
Step one:
Slice the baguette into small pieces that are about a half an inch thick.
Step two:
Mix the shredded Parmesan and mayonnaise in a bowl. The mixture should be thick but spreadable. If need be, add more or less Mayonnaise.
Step three:
Spread pesto sauce on each bread slice. Once done, cover the pesto with a generous amount of the cheese mixture.
Step four:
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. Place the prepared slices on a baking sheet and bake them in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes. The slices should be slightly browned when you take them out.
