Genovese Pesto Crostini
Ingredients
  • Italian homemade bread, grandmothers’ favorite bread
  • Homemade Genovese Pesto (or alternatively Agricook’s), because nothing beats the taste of fresh basil
  • Grated cheese (preferably Parmesan or Pecorino), because it is the cheese that makes this dish even more delicious
  • Extra virgin olive oil, why it is the secret to perfect crispness
  • Garlic, why garlic aromas are the key to intense flavor
Procedure
  1. Start by cutting the bread into slices about 1/2 cm thick, as this is the perfect size for this appetizer
  2. In a frying pan, heat some extra virgin olive oil and add a clove of crushed garlic, because garlic and oil are a perfect pair
  3. Toast the bread slices in the oil for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown and crispy, because crispness is essential for this dish
  4. Remove from pan and place on paper towels to remove excess oil, as we do not want the dish to be too greasy
  5. Take Pesto Genovese and spread it on top of the warm toasted bread slices, and sprinkle grated cheese on top, because cheese and pesto are a perfect pair
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tip: For an extra touch, you can add some fresh basil leaves before serving, because fresh basil makes the dish even more delicious.
