Ricotta Pesto Toast

It’s doesn’t get much better than this garlic pesto brunch toast. It’s got all my favourite flavours going on and is so fresh and versatile. Add a poached egg and balsamic glaze, squeeze of lemon and cracked pepper, dress it up how ever you like! But do yourself a favour and give it a go. We used our gluten free focaccia loaf but you can use any loaf of bread you like. It will go great with our Artisan loaf also which adds a great crisp texture when toasted. All our breads you can find in store.
