Pavlova Slice with basil pesto

Method

1. Start by prepping your all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, eggs so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the garlic in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the pavlova and let it sheet-pan, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the unsalted butter along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with a grating of hard cheese right before serving.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
