BASIL PESTO, TOMATO, CHEESE AND FRENCH BREAD MELT.
I used Bonnie Traynor's Basil Pesto recipe #8650 in this and it was absolutely excellent. This is a quick and zesty snack that I really enjoy.

Steps:
- Cut french bread across the loaf or at a small angle, making your pieces and inch thick or even thicker.
- With a brush, lightly paint one side and the slice edges with olive oil.
- Spread a thin layer of Bonnie's Pesto on the slices. (or thick if you like).
- Arrange slices of tomato in the top of the slice to cover.
- Lightly salt and pepper.
- Either broil or use a toaster oven to quickly toast the tomato slices. The tomato will not be "cooked" but simply heated up a little.
- When they are almost done, remove and sprinkle to cover with the two cheeses mixed together. Return to toaster until cheese is melted.
- This is an excellent appetizer or side dish with anything italian.
