Directions

To make pea pesto:

Add the peas, garlic, Parmesan, salt and black pepper in a food processor, and plus until well blended.

As it's running, gradually add the olive oil until well combined, about 2 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper, if desired.

Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

To make the crostini:

Preheat a stovetop griddle or grill pan on medium-high heat.

Brush both sides of the sliced bread with olive oil and grill until golden, about 2 minutes.

Arrange the bread to a serving platter and spread about 1½ tablespoons of the pea pesto evenly on each slice.

Place tomato halves on top.

Serve.
