Pesto and cheese toasties

I make my own pesto. I don’t always add nuts and, sometimes, I even skip the cheese part. And when I need only a small amount of pesto, I don’t bother with the blender. I simply hand-chop the basil and garlic.

But you don’t need to make your own pesto to enjoy these toasties for breakfast. You can use pesto in jars that line the supermarket shelves. I can’t help you though with which brands are good and which aren’t.

So, whether you’re using homemade pesto or supermarket-bought, here’s how to prepare these toasties.

cheese-pesto-toast

Cut off the crusts of the bread, then toast lightly. Brush with pesto and sprinkle with your favorite cheese (grated or thinly sliced). If you’re watching your sodium intake, since pesto is already quite salty, you might want to choose a mildly salted cheese.

Pop the cheese-topped bread slices in the oven/griller for about 30 seconds or until the cheese melts and the edges of the bread are browned and crisp.
