- Slice the crusty bread, brush one side with oil and place oil side down on an oven tray. Bake for 5mins or until crunchy on top.

- Stir in the onion and garlic mixture.
- If you’re using it, spread a thin layer of the pesto on the oiled side of the bread.

- If you’re adding mozzarella, place it on top and melt it under the grill.
- Sprinkle with black pepper and parmesan.
