Fresh Mozzarella and Spinach Pesto Melts

Scott Phillips

Servings:4 as a main course

A grilled cheese/French bread pizza hybrid, this dish comes together quickly with the help of a broiler and a hot baking sheet that heats the bread from below. It’s a great meal on its own, or you can cut each one into quarters for an hors d’oeuvre.

Preparation

  • 将架子放在距肉鸡8英寸的架子上,在其上放置烤盘,然后加热肉鸡。
  • Pulse the spinach, Parmigiano-Reggiano, pine nuts, lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a food processor until chopped. With the motor running, drizzle in the oil to make a smooth, creamy pesto.
  • Put the bread on the hot baking sheet and toast until the tops are golden. Rub the toasted sides with one garlic clove half. Spread each with about 2 Tbs. of the pesto. (Save the remaining pesto for another use.) Arrange the mozzarella over the pesto. Top with the olives. Broil just until the cheese is melted, 2 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

    Great recipe, quick and easy too! Works well with basil in place of spinach as well!
