Ingredients:

Serving

1 8 oz loaf baguette-style french bread
nonstick spray coating
1 1/2 cups firmly packed torn fresh spinach
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 tbsp almonds
3 tbsp snipped fresh basil
1 large clove garlic, quartered
1/8 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp water
1 cup chopped red and/or yellow tomato
2 tbsp thinly sliced green onion
2 tsp olive oil
1/8 tsp pepper
fresh basil (optional)

Directions:

For the toasts, cut bread into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spray both sides of each slice lightly with nonstick coating. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 425 degrees oven about 5 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned, turning once. (If desired, transfer the cooled toasts to a storage container. Cover and store the toasts at room temperature for up to 24 hours.)
For pesto, in a blender container or food processor bowl combine the spinach, Parmesan cheese, almonds, basil, garlic, and salt. Cover and blend or process with several on-off turns until a paste forms, stopping the machine several times and scraping the sides. With machine running, gradually add the 2 tablespoons olive oil and the water, blending or processing until the mixture is the consistency of soft butter. (If desired, cover and chill the pesto for up to 2 days.)
For the tomato topper, in a small bowl stir together chopped tomato, green onion, the 2 teaspoons olive oil, and the pepper.
To assemble, spread each toast with a thin layer of pesto; top each with some of the tomato topper. If desired, garnish with fresh basil.
Makes 18-20 slices.
