I love sandwiches, but after a while the normal lunch meat and cheese can get so boring. These sandwiches are much more sophisticated than a regular sandwich and so amazing and fun to make! And it involves some of my favorite ingredients too!
Ciabatta bread, pesto, salami, prosciutto, provolone and mozzarella cheese and basil. You can’t go wrong! After you put it together you tightly wrap it in plastic wrap.
Then you press it overnight or few a hours in the refrigerator. I used my heaviest cookbooks and some hand weights. Kind of a funny sight to see in the fridge but it makes for an awesome sandwich!
We took these sandwiches on a fun family picnic to the airport. Every year for Levi’s birthday we take him to the airport to watch the airplanes. He loves it! We found a place where you can walk directly under the planes flying by right before they land. It’s so amazing! It feels like the plane is right above you and it gives you a rush!
We made these sandwiches using ciabbata rolls because we couldn’t find ciabatta bread so either works. I love how good these sandwiches are. The flavors are outstanding. I just love real Italian ingredients.
