A final fox tip

This dish is essentially a canvas. Feel free to play with toppings. You can add a poached egg, olives or even a thin slice of cucumber for some extra freshness. For a gluten-free version, simply use gluten-free bread. Kids can get involved in assembling the toast and even making the pesto with supervision.
