Pistachio Pesto Toast

Writer's picture: Suzanne ClarkSuzanne Clark

Pesto is so versatile and flavorful that we thought we would kick it up a few notches with this modern version. In this recipe, we swapped the olive oil for something richer and bolder, our new Challenge Garlic Parmesan with Herbs Butter Snack Spread. We also replaced the pine nuts typically used with pistachios for more Italian flair. Make sure to make a double batch so you will have enough on hand. Make the toast for a perfect appetiser, then use the remaining to toss with hot pasta or to spread on your next deli sandwich!
