FAQ
Can I use a different type of bread?
Yes, you can substitute ciabatta with focaccia, sourdough or any crusty bread you prefer.
How can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
Assemble the sandwich without toasting the bread, wrap tightly and refrigerate. Toast the bread separately and add just before serving to keep it from getting soggy.
Can I omit the pesto mayo?
Yes, you can use plain mayonnaise or even a balsamic glaze instead. The pesto mayo adds a herby flavor, but it’s optional.
