Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 12 oz frozen peas, defrosted
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese (or use a 3 cheese blend of parmesan, romano and asiago)
- 1/3 cup broth (chicken or veggie)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt + more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper + more to taste
- 1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil (2 tablespoons )
- 8 slices whole-grain baguette, preferably day-old and crusty* (1/2-inch thick )
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Cherry tomatoes (halved, for topping)
Instruction
- For the pea pesto, pulse together the peas, garlic, cheese, broth, salt and pepper in a food processor. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil until well combined, about 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- Preheat a griddle or skillet on medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the sliced bread with olive oil and grill until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the bread to a clean surface and spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the prepared pesto on each slice. Top with tomato halves, an additional sprinkle of sea salt and serve. Easy peasy and delicious!
