Thoughts Before Baking:
So I found this recipe on pinterest, but is originally from The Cooking Jar. It sounded fantastic, as I love pesto, cheese, and bread, so of course I thought I would give it a try.
Ingredients:
- 1 Loaf of French Bread
- 1/2 Cup of Butter, Melted
- 1/2 Cup of Pesto
- 1.5 Cups of a Mixed Cheese Blend (she called for a 5 Italian Cheese blend. I couldn’t find it so I went with the 4 Mexican Cheese Blend)
Directions:
- Preheat oven at 375 degrees F.
- Using a serrated knife, make 1-inch diagonal cuts across the bread, be sure to leave the bottom intact.
- Repeat going the opposite direction.
- Pour the melted butter between the cuts, evenly.
- Use a spoon or knife to spread the pesto along the top of the bread.
- Transfer to aluminum foil and stuff cuts with cheese.
- Wrap bread in foil and cook for 15 mins.
- Unwrap bread and cook for another 10 mins.
- Serve.
Thoughts After Baking:
So no picture, sorry. We ate it before I had the chance to snap one.
It was good.
The only thing I would change would be putting the pesto inside the cuts and then the cheese. I didn’t like it on the tops only.
