How to Make White Bean Dip Spread

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Drain one (15-ounce) can of cannellini beans and add them to a food processor or blender.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of pesto, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Process or blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add a splash of water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  4. Slice a baguette into 1-inch thick slices. Brush both sides of the baguette slices with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  5. Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and broil on the lower rack for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  6. Transfer the toasted baguette slices to a serving platter. Spoon the white bean dip into a small bowl and place it in the center of the platter. Serve immediately and enjoy!
