Pesto Basil Bread Rounds
Ingredients
  • 1 (1 pound) loaf French baguette
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup basil pesto
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is typically referred to as the broiler. Prepare a baking sheet by arranging bread slices in a uniform layer on it. Subject the bread to the broiler for 5-8 minutes, or until it reaches a light brown color on one side. Keep a close eye to prevent burning and remove from the oven when done.
2
Next, set your oven's temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small container, combine mayonnaise, pesto, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and salt. Mix the ingredients well to create a uniform consistency. Spread this mixture evenly across the unbaked sides of your bread slices.

Place the prepared bread slices in the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes. Switch to broil mode and position the bread under the heat just until it starts to bubble and develops a golden hue. Allow the rounds to cool slightly before presenting them as a finished dish.
