Basil Pesto Rounds

from Jessica Romney
1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, sliced
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup basil pesto
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Salt to taste
Preheat oven to broiler setting. Arrange bread slices in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Place under a broiler for 5 to 8 minutes, or until lightly toasted on one side. Watch carefully to make sure they don’t burn. Remove from oven and flip bread slices so that the toasted side is on the bottom.
Set the oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl mix together mayo, pesto, garlic, parmesan, and salt. Spread evenly over untoasted sides of bread slices. Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Set the over to broil and place the rounds under the broiler just until they begin to bubble and turn golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
