Cheesy Pesto Crack Bread

by

It’s a shareable cheesy, pull-apart round of ridiculously delicious bread! Oh, and that’s just the beginning of the experience you’ll have making and devouring this tasty appetizer! It’s really so simple to make—maybe ten minutes of prep time, then into the oven it goes until its golden brown, and the cheese is melted to perfection so when you pull a chunk of bread apart , the mozzarella just stretches and pulls just like those pizza commercials! I love this recipe because it’s fun to make, the ingredients are readily available and I always really enjoy dishes that you plop in the middle of the table and share! You can make this with a round sour dough bread boule, an oblong French or Italian loaf or even mini sour dough rounds for individual servings. For the pesto, it can be store bought or homemade, the recipe of which I have included here. Once you see the reaction to this tasty treat, you’ll be making it time and time again!

Eggplant Roll-Ups (Eggplant Involtini)

The Story

Involtini. It’s an Italian culinary term that I like to think of as describing something delicious wrapped around a filling that’s even more delicious. That pretty much sums up Eggplant Involtini, or Eggplant Roll-Ups. For this recipe, eggplant slices are blanched, grilled, and then rolled around a smooth and cheesy mixture that sits in a shallow bed of sauce. Use your favorite store-bought red sauce or try my momma’s quick recipe for homemade marinara!

Zucchini Crust Pizza with Sautéed Tomatoes and Mushrooms

The Story

Zucchini. I’ve never been a huge fan… until now. Zucchini is all of a sudden one of my favorite veggies as the star ingredient in one of the best pizza crusts I’ve ever had. Move over, cauliflower pizza crust. I think this one tops it by a mile! You will love the way this pizza crust cooks up. The big secret is to make sure you squeeze, squeeze, squeeze out the water from the shredded zucchini. Once you make the crust, load it up with any of your favorite pizza toppings.
