Yes, this is a recipe for a sandwich. Because, sometimes you would like to make something different. Yet, easy. And cheap. Sometimes, you want to serve some bites for your guests. Or you want something to eat on a Friday night, that is not take-aways, but is quick and easy. And comforting after the hectic week. This is one of those recipes. An idea for one of those days...
Ingredients
bread
onion rings
butter
cheese
paprika
red pepper / cayenne pepper
basil pesto
Method
Quantities here really comes down to taste, so feel free to add more or less of any ingredients to suit your taste, and of course the quantities you are making for. Spread butter on the bread. Spread basil pesto over the butter. I will use more in the future, it really is very delicious. Place the onion rings on the bread to slightly overlap. Cover in cheese - I love cheese, so my layer is thick. Sprinkle paprika and red pepper over. Melt in the microwave to just melted and enjoy!!
Alternatives: 1. Toast the bread first. 2. Bake in the oven (this will take longer, but will be fabulous!). 3. Over the pesto, grate a little nutmeg. 4. Add another slice of bread on top to make a sandwich.
