This basil pesto is homemade because it's the best pesto ever! However, feel free to buy a jar of basil pesto.

The ingredients are all homemade, healthy recipe, incredible combinations, robust flavor and dynamic color, what more could you want from a slice of bread really?
Something incredibly delicious about roasted tomatoes and a tomato and basil pesto toast....oh my goodness! Add some roasted garlic and mushrooms? Let's just say that I'm toast before I actually eat it. That's that's how much I can't tell you enough about the incredible combinations here.
TOMATO & BASIL PESTO
What about basil pesto? Don't you just love how it turns any dish from regular to out of this world extraordinary? And the best part is that you really don't have to do much at all? When I think that I'm writing a post and recipe about toast, it's mind boggling to me. That is, until I remind myself that it's not just a recipe it's also a little bit of inspiration for someone else. You may be reading this and not make the exact same thing (which naturally I hope that you do) but hopefully you will be inspired to create your own bright and delicious bites. Again if you that happens, I would love to talk about it so please make sure to @ me at @anosmickitchen or hashtag me at #anosmickitchen 🙂
When I posted my basil pesto recipe I mentioned how it was a classic basil pesto however I have also made pesto from just about any greens that I lay my hands on. So if you have greens that need to be used up try a pesto.

ROASTED TOMATOES
Having the roasted tomatoes on hand is always so much easier and quicker but if you don't and have to roast them at the time, just plop them into the oven together with fresh garlic cloves, drizzle some olive oil, salt, pepper and let them roast till bursting with flavor. This can also be done on the stove in a skillet or regular pan so enjoy. The roasted options has a lot more flavor to offer.
