  • 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Chilli Flakes (add more depending on how much kick you want, I like it spicy)

Instructions

  6. Place the sourdough slices on an oven tray with parchment paper, brush each slice on both sides with olive oil and grill until golden and toasted, turning halfway.
  7. Remove from the oven, top with the grated cheese, place back in the oven until the cheese is melty, about 4-5 minutes.
  8. Remove the toasties onto a plate, drizzle with the rosemary pesto, top with the sliced grilled mushrooms and blistered cherry tomatoes.
