Pea And Mint Pesto Crostini

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This is a recipe based on one by Giada De Laurentiis. It's superb! It freezes well with no discoloration so it's easy to make ahead or to freeze leftovers (not that there ever is in my house). If you don't want to make the crostini, spread the pea pesto on Melba toast or other very crisp crackers. Don't skip the tomatoes as they really finish the dish. I usually use sourdough bread for this.This also makes a great sauce for chicken or fish.

    Transfer the Bread to a Serving Platter. If Necessary, Cut the Bread Slices So That You Have Slices About 2 Inches Long. Spread One Heaping Tablespoon of the Pea Pesto on Each Slice. Top Each Slice With a Tomato Half or a Bit of Diced Tomato and Serve.

    For Maximum Crispiness, Use Day Old Bread or Fresh Bread That's Been Dried Out in a 300f Oven For About 5 Minutes.
