Pesto & Cheese Crostini’s
Crostini’s are typically small pieces of white bread drizzled with olive oil and topped with cheeses, meats or vegetables. I skipped the olive oil and opted for larger slices of whole wheat bread, turning this delicious Italian favorite into a (still delicious) healthy meal. Perfect as a lunch or dinner!
Dish Type: Dairy- Meal/ Snack
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Bake Time: 2-3 minutes
Total Time: Less than 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 small-medium slices of a whole wheat bread (best if it is fresh from a bakery)
- 1 oz Tnuva Kashvakal cheese (2 thin slices)
- 2 Tbsp pesto
- 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp tomato sauce
Instructions:
- Slice muenster cheese thinly, using a cheese slicer.
- Place 1 slice on each piece of bread.
- Top each slice with 1 Tbsp of pesto, spread evenly over cheese.
- Sprinkle each crostini with 1 Tbsp parmesan and top with 1 tsp of tomato sauce.
- Cover toaster oven tray with tin foil and bake in toaster at 350 degrees for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
- Serve with your favorite air popped or baked chip, I love Smart Fries (in photo).
Enjoy!
