Gotta Love It!
There is nothing better than a great sandwich on lightly toasted bread, with fresh organic lettuce and tomatoes. The next best thing is a great sandwich on lightly toasted bread with bacon and Genoa salami and a little pesto to top it off.
My sandwich adventures are far and vast. If you can eat it, it can become a sandwich, as least that's how I feel about it!
I made pesto for my baby girl because she loves pesto on her grilled cheeses. I decided to take the leftover pesto, add a little mayonnaise and make an Italian BLT with fresh spinach pesto.
If you don't like Spinach you can substitute basil to make the pesto sauce. Sometimes I will use both
basil and spinach in my pesto sauce, I am a risk taker like that, when it comes to cooking.
I made a triple stack, Yes, a triple stack, but I did share it! Let's Eat!
