Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Arrange the bread slices on a non-stick cookie sheet.

  2. In an electric blender or food processor combine the spinach, Parmesan, almonds, basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Blend until a paste forms. Pulse in 2 tablespoons olive oil, continue pulsing until the mixture is the consistency of soft butter.

  3. In a small mixing bowl combine chopped tomatoes, green onion and 1 tablespoon olive oil, stir.

  4. Bake the bread slices for 5 minutes or until crisp and brown.

  5. Arrange toast on a serving platter. Spread each piece of toast with a thin layer of the blended pesto, then top with the tomato mixture.

Recipe Note

This Italian appetizer made of bread, fresh spinach, and some other goodies is great for serving at parties. A French baguette is a long, narrow loaf of French bread. I like to garnish the bruschetta with more basil.
