I told you I have a sandwich obsession-and this one might just be the best one yet! It’s everything you love about an antipasto platter all wrapped up in a portable package, perfect for picnics, lunches or easy dinners. Plus you can make it ahead (it gets better as it sits) and eat cold, at room temperature, or hot in pressed sandwich form.
Lemony basil pesto is slathered in ciabatta, layered with salami, prosciutto, mozzarella, provolone, artichokes, roasted peppers, hot peppers and arugula…like really layered, just check it out!
I found this recipe on one of my favorite food blogs, Half Baked Harvest, where Teighan literally makes everything so beautiful and unique and exactly what I want to make in my own kitchen. I make a ton of her recipes and they are all perfect! This one is awesome because it combines so many of my favorite things: pesto, veggies, arugula, cheese and salty pork products. Seriously, who needs a charcuterie board anymore?! (Okay, I still do.)
This would be great as a hot sandwich, baked or pressed in a skillet and toasted. Also, burrata would be an EXCELLENT choice of cheese to replace mozzarella because it’s so creamy and would give a little more moisture to the sandwich. Any of your favorite salamis would work for this, but just make sure to use something high-quality (that goes for the prosciutto too!). I hope this recipe winds up gracing your next picnic, al fresco dinner, or lunch box. I swear everyone will be jealous.
