Cut off the crusts of the bread, then toast lightly. Brush with pesto and sprinkle with your favorite cheese. If you’re watching your sodium intake, since pesto is already quite salty, you might want to choose a mildly salted cheese.
Pop the cheese-topped bread slices in the oven/griller for about 30 seconds or until the cheese melts and the edges of the bread are browned and crisp.

Thanks Connie
