Pesto Bread

This is one of my kids' most favorite recipes. I only make it in the summer when my basil plant is flourishing though. My oldest son made it last night and it was delicious!

Pesto:
3big handfuls of fresh sweet basil
Olive oil
Parmesan
1 garlic clove
Salt

Bread:
1loaf Italian bread
2 tomatoes diced
1 container goat cheese or 4-5 slices provolone

Put the basil in a food processor. Pour a few glugs (sorry I don't measure!) of olive oil in. Put about a 1/4 cup Parmesan in. One garlic clove and a pinch of salt. Pulse until fully chopped and blended. Taste, and salt accordingly. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425. Slice your bread in half longways and place on a baking sheet. Spread the pesto on your halves, sprinkle with tomatoes and cheese. Bake in the oven until the cheese is melty and the bread is toasty. Enjoy!
