This was very good! I didn't have parsley so i used fresh oregano instead. Also, i added a garlic clove. I took Andi's advice and blended everythin in a food proccessor to make it into more of a spread. I cut the baguette in half lengthwise and served pizza bread style for dinner with a larger vegetable side dish. Great meal! Thank you Pat. Made for Potluck tag.

To make a smaller serving size I made a deconstructed version. I did omit the butter. I combined all ingredients and placed on sliced whole grain ciabatta bread and then just toasted in the toaster oven. These made great appetizers. Actually thought the whole grain texture (had sunflower seeds, etc inside) of the bread added a lot to the dish.

I think these were different but wonderful! They have great flavor. I added some mozzarella cheese on top. It is similar to pizza, too. My youngest son just loved these because he loves salami. I did omit the pesto on his, though. Thanks for sharing!
