I love a great bruschetta with basil pesto! I had been thinking about this recipe for quite a while, worrying that by adding green chile it just wouldn’t come out tasting right. But I was definitely wrong, this pesto is dynamic and I can’t wait to add it to a pasta dish! But for now, here is a delicious bruschetta recipe that you must try!
Servings: 1 Cup
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
2 Cups (packed) Basil Leaves
¼ Cup Pine Nuts

Green Chile Pesto Bruschetta
Servings: Depends on Baguette slice, at least 12
Difficulty: Very Easy
Ingredients:
1 Cup Green Chile Basil Pesto
1 Baguette roll
1 tomato, sliced thinly into small pieces
Mozzarella Cheese, cut into thin slices
Olive Oil
Method:
Slice the baguette roll into about ½ inch thick slices.
I toasted both sides of the baguette slices on a Panini pan with some olive oil, but this step is not necessary.
Spread the pesto onto each baguette slice.
Add a piece of tomato.
Top with a thin slice of mozzarella cheese.
