Instructions

1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

c) Grate the Cheddar cheese.

d) Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all). 

e) In a medium bowl, mix together the garlic, Cheddar, grated hard Italian style cheese, parsley, pesto and the olive oil (see pantry for amount).

2

a) Place your baguette in between two wooden spoon handles on a board. Make diagonal slices widthways at 2cm intervals, making sure not to cut the whole way through - you'll make approximately 12 cuts.

b) Pop the baguette onto a lined baking tray and use a teaspoon to spoon two thirds of the cheesy pesto mixture equally into each cut. TIP: Don't worry if the bread breaks, the cheese will melt and stick it back together in the oven.

3

a) Spread the remaining pesto mixture over the top of the baguette, then bake on the top shelf of your oven until the cheese is melted and slightly golden, 10-12 mins.

b) Once cooked, remove from your oven and transfer to a board. 

c) Allow to cool for 5 mins before transferring to a sharing board.

Enjoy!
