Seb's Italian-style aperitif slices

These Italian-inspired snacks are ideal for a light supper or with an aperitif: a thin slice of bread spread with pesto, sliced potatos, hard-boiled egg and a generous sliver of Parmesan.

Pop them in the oven just long enough to melt the cheese.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 7 min.

Slice 6 cookeds potatoes and 9 hard-boiled eggs.

Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Cut 3 baguettes into thin slices and arrange on a baking sheet lined with cooking parchment.

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Dip a brush in the white wine and moisten the bread slices.

Note: this is optional if your bread is very fresh, more necessary if it's on the dry side.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Spread the slices generously with pesto.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Add half a slice of hard-boiled egg on each.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Then half a slice of potato.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Finish with a good sliver of Parmesan.

Stage 8 - 20 min.

Bake for about 20 minutes, finishing under the grill if necessary.

Stage 9

Serve piping hot or warm.

Remarks

To be really in keeping with the Italian mood, opt for an Italian-style loaf, shaped like a baguette but made with olive oil which adds flavour and makes for a softer bread.

If you live anywhere near Brest, I heartily recommend trying the ones made by my friend Sébastien (Brittany's best baker 2019) at his bakery Penn ar bread" in Guipavas – it's a must.

Keeping

Best eaten immediately but can be reheated.
