     Fresh Mozzarella and Spinach Pesto Melts

Category   Entrees - Maindishes
Sub Category   None
Servings   4

Ingredients
4 oz. (4 packed cups) baby spinach
1 oz. finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 cup using a rasp grate
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
4 large slices of rustic white bread
1 large garlic clove, cut in half crosswise
8 oz. fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
 
1/2 cup pitted, chopped Kalamata olives

Instructions
Position a rack 8 inches from the broiler, place a baking sheet on it, and heat the broiler. Pulse the spinach, Parmigiano-Reggiano, pine nuts, lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a food processor until chopped. With the motor running, drizzle in the oil to make a smooth, creamy pesto. Put the bread on the hot baking sheet and toast until the tops are golden. Rub the toasted sides with one garlic clove half. Spread each with about 2 Tbs. of the pesto. (Save the remaining pesto for another use.) Arrange the mozzarella over the pesto. Top with the olives. Broil just until the cheese is melted, 2 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
