Pea Pesto Crostinis
These are the perfect little appetizers! I made them for my friends baby shower. So light and fresh, the herbs just brightens it right up. The pesto would be perfect to spread on a pizza or sandwich as well!
Ingredients
Pesto
- 1 (10 ounce) bag of frozen, defrosted.
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp. fresh mint
- 1 tbsp. basil
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Season with salt and black pepper
Crostini
- 1 baguette, 1/2 inch sliced (preferably one day old)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Directions
Pea Pesto: In a large food processor with a metal blade attachment, pulse together the peas, garlic, parmesan, herbs, salt and pepper. About 1 or 2 minutes. With the machine running slowly add the olive oil until all combined. Make sure to scrap down the edges. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
Crostini: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lay out the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until just crisp and golden. Top with the pesto and one halved tomato. Serve immediately and enjoy!
