Pistachio Parmesan Crostini Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine the flour, walnuts, and butter and mix well. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake in the preheated oven until the nuts are fragrant and the crust is lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool.
• Mix together the cream cheese, vanilla, confectioners' sugar, and 1 cup whipped topping. Beat well, and spread the filling over the cooled crust. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Mix the instant pudding with milk until thick. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer. Top with remaining whipped topping, sprinkle with nuts, and decorate with maraschino cherries.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Arrange bread slices on an ungreased baking sheet; brush tops with butter. Bake until lightly toasted, 4-6 minutes. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool., Beat cream cheese, orange juice and honey until blended; spread over toasts. Top with remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add oil and whisk again. Place peaches in another bowl and toss with half the vinaigrette.
• Heat grill or broiler. Brush both sides of each bread slice with oil. Grill or broil bread until lightly charred, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes a side.
• Add arugula to bowl of remaining vinaigrette and toss.
• Spoon dollops of ricotta onto bread slices and sprinkle with pistachios (reserve some for garnish). Top with peaches. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Cap with a handful of arugula and sprinkle with pistachios. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Place silpat on a large baking sheet, or if not using a silpat or nonstick baking sheet, line a large baking sheet with parchment. Put rounded teaspoons of cheese 2 inches apart on baking sheets and spread each into a 1 1/2 inch circle.
• Sprinkle each round lightly with chopped pistachios (about 1/8 teaspoon for each) and bake until just golden, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Let crisps cool on sheet 1 minute then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Bake more crisps in same manner on cooled sheet, wiping nonstick or silpat in between batches (if using), or replacing parchment with each new batch.
