Italian pesto sandwich

*makes 6-8 sandwiches

Ingredients:

• One loaf Italian bread
• 2-4oz fresh pesto 
• 4-8 oz prosciutto 
• 8oz fresh mozzarella or burrata
• 1 tomato, sliced, if desired

A few notes on making this: 

• My kids love this sandwich any time of year, but it’s especially perfect in the summer when it’s too hot to cook, or for a perfect beach/pool day lunch.
• This sandwich is endlessly riffable—add any meats or veg that you’d like. 
• This can also be toasted in a panini press for a warm version. 

Directions: 

• Cut the Italian loaf in half lengthwise.
  
• Spread pesto evenly over the top and bottom halves.
  
• Next, add slices of prosciutto evenly across bottom half.
• Add slices of mozzarella or burrata on top of prosciutto. 
• Then, add tomato slices on top of the cheese, if using. 
• Finally, place top half of bread on sandwich and press gently. 
• Cut into 6-8 slices. 
• If you have a panini press, you can press for a few minutes to warm sandwich and melt cheese, if desired. 
• Enjoy!
