- * Note: Buy best-quality prepared pesto, preferably one made with basil, Parmesan cheese, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts and/or possibly walnuts.
- To prepare dip, process cream cheese and pesto in food processor several seconds till well-blended. (Or possibly combine by hand with rubber spatula in mixing bowl.) Dip can be prepared one day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature 30 min before using.
- To prepare garnishes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place extra virgin olive oil in small bowl; brush both sides of bread slices lightly with oil. Arrange on baking sheet. Bake on center rack 5 min. Turn slices; bake till just golden brown and crisp, about 5 min more. Remove from oven. Toasted bread slices can be prepared 2 hrs ahead and kept loosely covered with foil at cold room temperature.
- Cut off and throw away lacy stalks from fennel bulb, then halve bulb lengthwise and remove and throw away tough inner cores. Cut fennel lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide julienne slices.
- Remove stem end from pepper, then open up and throw away seeds and membranes. Cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide julienne strips.
- Trim root ends and all but 2 inches of green stems from green onions.
- To serve, place pesto dip in small serving bowl; place on serving platter. Surround with toasted baguette slices, fennel, red pepper and green onions.
- Yield: 8 to 10 servings.
