Recipe Tips
For extra crunch, toast the ciabatta until lightly golden before assembling.
Use high-quality pesto and fresh mozzarella for the best flavor.
If making ahead, keep the pesto mayo separate and spread just before serving to prevent sogginess.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of bread?
Yes, you can substitute ciabatta with any crusty bread like sourdough or a baguette. Toast it for best results.
How do I store leftover sandwiches?
It’s best to assemble fresh, but you can store components separately. Keep pesto mayo in the fridge and assemble just before eating.
Can I make this sandwich vegetarian?
Absolutely! Omit the prosciutto and add extra veggies like roasted red peppers or avocado for a delicious vegetarian version.
