2 tbsp. Sacla' Classic Basil Pesto
1 large clove garlic, peeled & crushed

How to make the recipe

Step 1

In a shallow dish wide enough for a slice of bread, lightly beat together the egg, milk, Classic Basil Pesto, garlic, spring onion, parsley, (if using) and some salt & pepper.

Step 2

Put both sides of the bread into the egg mixture to soak up some of the liquid ‚Äì don‚Äôt leave it to soak too long or it will be too soggy. Place on a plate.

Step 3

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on a plate and dip the bread to coat on both sides.

Step 4

Pour the oil into a large frying pan and put it over a moderate heat. Fry the bread, in batches, for 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping them with a spatula.

Step 5

The garlic Pesto toast is ready when golden brown and slightly crisp. Remove onto kitchen paper to briefly drain, then serve.
