Not only does the meal come together in a quick 15 minutes, but it’s a cheesy dish that combines juicy cherry tomatoes and pesto that, really, the entire family will devour.

When we say De Laurentiis’ Pesto Pizza Toast is easy to make, we mean it. All you’ll need to make the delicious dish is one cooking tool (a large, oven-safe pan, where you’ll both brown your bread and broil your toast once assembled) and a handful of ingredients (including rustic white bread, cherry tomatoes, pesto, and mozzarella cheese). Now, it’s up to you if you want to make the pesto yourself (which is extremely easy to do, especially if you follow De Laurentiis’ Classic Pesto recipe); or, you can use store-bought pesto — which is perfectly OK, too!
To make De Laurentiis’ Pesto Pizza Toast, simply brown the thick slices of rustic white bread, then use that same pan to cook your cherry tomatoes with olive oil and salt. Next, assemble your toast by topping with your tomatoes first, followed by pesto, then with cheese. Broil for a few minutes — and serve!
