Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 slices Italian bread (about 3/4″ – 1″ thick)

  • 2 T minced garlic
  • 2 T grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

  2. Arrange bread slices on baking sheet(s).
  3. In a bowl, stir together softened butter, pesto, minced garlic and both Parmesan cheeses.
  4. Spread a generous layer of the butter spread on each slice of bread.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the bread is toasted, the edges are brown and the butter and cheese is melted.
