1

Set oven control to broil. Place bread, cut sides up, on ungreased cookie sheet. Broil with tops 4 to 6 inches from heat about 1 minute or until lightly toasted.
2

Spread pesto on bread. Sprinkle with tomatoes and cheese. Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Sun-dried tomatoes have an intense tomato flavor as well as some sweet notes that add a lot of flavor wherever they are added. You will find them packaged in dry form or jarred in oil.
