  • 1/2 cup Cheese (e.g., ricotta or Parmesan)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup Fresh pea shoots Optional garnish
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Toast slices of ciabatta bread until golden brown.
  • In a food processor, blend fresh peas with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a pesto.
  • Spread the pea pesto on the toasted ciabatta.
  • Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
  • Garnish with cheese, lemon zest, and fresh pea shoots if using.

Notes

Store leftover pea pesto separately to prevent the toasted bread from becoming soggy. Fresh peas are ideal for the best flavor. Consider adding toasted nuts for crunch or experimenting with different cheeses.
