Ingredients
- 1 1 pound loaf French baguette sliced
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup basil pesto
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- salt to taste
Instructions
-
Turn the oven up to broiling heat. Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and broil for 5 to 8 minutes, or until lightly toasted on one side. Keep an eye on them; you don't want them to burn! Take sheet out of the oven and flip the bread slices so that the toasted side is on the bottom.
-
Switch the oven over to 350 F. Mix the mayonnaise, pesto, garlic, Parmesan and salt together in a small bowl. Spread that stuff evenly over the untoasted sides of the bread.
-
Bake the sheet in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Switch the oven back to broil and place the rounds under the broiler just until they begin to turn bubbly and golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
