Categories     Canapes and Crostini

Total Time 18 minutes

Prep Time 6 minutes

Cook Time 12 minutes

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (1 pound) loaf French baguette
⅔ cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup basil pesto
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven on broiler setting. Arrange bread slices in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Place under broiler for 5 to 8 minutes, or until lightly toasted on one side. Watch carefully to ensure they don't burn. Remove from oven, and flip bread slices so that the toasted side is on the bottom.
  • Set the oven temperature for 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, pesto, garlic, Parmesan and salt. Spread evenly over untoasted sides of bread slices.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Set the oven to broil, and place the rounds under the broiler just until they begin to bubble and turn golden. Let cool slightly before serving.

BASIC PESTO RECIPE - NYT COOKING

Fresh basil can be found in abundance at farmers’ markets in the summer. Just clean, take the stems off and throw the leaves in a food processor with nuts and garlic. Dribble in the oil and you’ve got a versatile sauce for pasta, chicken or fish.
