Pesto and Tartine Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until finely chopped.

  2. 2

    Add Olive Oil

    While the food processor is running, slowly pour in the olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the ‘ulu sourdough slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tartine

    Spread a generous layer of the house-made pesto on each toasted slice of sourdough. Top with slices of fresh mozzarella and tomato.

  5. 5

    Final Touch

    Optionally, drizzle a little extra olive oil over the top and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the bread is warm and the mozzarella is slightly melted.
