Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 Eggs
- 0.25 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups Basil leaves, fresh
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Pine nuts
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt for pesto
- 10 Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 ounces Mozzarella cheese, sliced
- to taste Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly greases a bread loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy, then add melted butter and mix well.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese, then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Test with a toothpick to ensure doneness. Let it cool before slicing.
To make the pesto, in a food processor, combine basil leaves, garlic cloves, and pine nuts. Pulse until roughly chopped.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil until desired consistency is achieved, then season with salt to taste.
Slice the cooled bread into thick slices and toast them lightly in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
Spread a generous amount of fresh pesto over each piece of toasted bread.
Top each slice with halved cherry tomatoes and sliced mozzarella cheese.
Finish with a sprinkle of ground black pepper to taste and serve immediately.
