As I’ve already mentioned several times in my blog, I love bread. I also love a good topping for toasted baguette. This recipe is full of healthy, filling ingredients that won’t make you feel bad when you load up your bread.
This recipe is pretty flexible and you can use switch out for walnuts or portabella mushrooms. You can also play around with the herbs and spices you have on hand.
