Ingredients
- 1 loaf seeded sourdough baguette, sliced on the diagonal 1/2″ thick
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup pistachios, shelled and finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons black pepper, freshly cracked
- 1/3 cup Good quality olive oil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven on low broil. Have the rack about 8 inches from the broiling element. Slice the sourdough bread on the diagonal, about 1/2 inch thick slices. Lightly spread the pieces with the butter, then add the pistachios and the parmesan cheese, sprinkling evenly. Place under broiler and cook for 2 minutes, keeping a careful eye. When cheese just starts to melt and bread just starts to lightly tan, remove and crack the fresh pepper on top, then drizzle with the olive oil and serve.

Easy, yummy, and creative. I skipped the pepper and EVOO step.
Really good and really easy to make
I made this for a party last year and it was one of the first things to go. Friends raved about how very good but simple it was. I am making it again for a party next week and will make twice as much! I’ve never even made the soup to go with it just served it as a snack (appetizer).
Great great easy fun recipe
This is an awesome pistachio and salmon lunch or dinner recipe from celebrity chef Jesse Brune. It?s yummy and heart healthy, with lots of protein, fiber, and good fats http://thegreennut.org/recipes/07-pistachio-dusted-roast-salmon.html
Prevention Magazine has a neat article on reducing your risk of heart disease and diabetes with nuts. True fact: A daily serving or two of pistachios, in healthy recipes or as a snack, may decrease LDL bad cholesterol levels by 9 to 12%, according to a recent Pennsylvania State University study of articles on pistachio nuts. http://thegreennut.org/health/prevention/nutty-way-to-fight-disease.html
