Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil.
Slice the French bread down the middle, brush with olive oil cut side up, and set aside.
Cut whole mushrooms in half and make slits on stems for eyes, creating spooky designs.
Spread pesto evenly across the cut sides of the bread, leaving space around the edges.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of pesto, leaving some visible for effect.
Arrange mushrooms on top, cut side up, and brush each lightly with olive oil.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and bread is golden brown.
Remove from oven, cool for a minute, slice, and serve immediately.
