    Cheesy Pesto Tomato Baguette

    During my quest for a quick (but delicious) sandwich after a long day at work, I made this embarrassingly simple sandwich:  a Cheesy Pesto Tomato Baguette.

    A toasted baguette with sliced tomatoes, pesto and cheese.

    It was so good and so darn simple and quick (less than 10 minutes), I had to share it.  I’ll definitely be making it again.

    A pack of cheese, a tomato, sliced baguette and a jar of pesto on a wood surface.

    Honestly, I was really excited that I picked my very first little tomato from the plant my mama gave me recently.  These were the items I scrounged up from my kitchen to make a meal with it:  a baguette slice, some prepared pesto and Monterey Jack cheese.  With a little help from my KitchenAid counter top oven, I whipped this up in a grand total of about 8 minutes flat.

    If you’re feeling a little frisky, you can make Simple Homemade Pesto like I do when my basil is abundant.

    Oh, and please don’t judge the simplicity of this sandwich in advance… give it an honest chance.

    It’s as simple as this:

    A 6 inch sliced baguette that has been spread with pesto.

    Slice your desired length of baguette and slather it with some pesto.

    A sliced baguette topped with pesto and cheese slices on a wood surface.

    Throw some thick slices of cheese up on it.  Don’t be shy.  I used Monterey Jack but provolone or Swiss would be pretty awesome, too.

    Toast it in your counter top oven, add sliced tomatoes and additional pesto, if desired (I love pesto!).  Enjoy!
