Categories appetizer

Time 7m

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 loaf seeded sourdough baguette, sliced on the diagonal 1/2" thick
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup pistachios, shelled and finely chopped
2 teaspoons black pepper, freshly cracked
1/3 cup Good quality olive oil for garnish

Steps:

Preheat oven on low broil. Have the rack about 8 inches from the broiling element. Slice the sourdough bread on the diagonal, about 1/2 inch thick slices. Lightly spread the pieces with the butter, then add the pistachios and the parmesan cheese, sprinkling evenly. Place under broiler and cook for 2 minutes, keeping a careful eye. When cheese just starts to melt and bread just starts to lightly tan, remove and crack the fresh pepper on top, then drizzle with the olive oil and serve.
