Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 3/4 lb mortadella
- 10-12 oz stracciatella cheese
- 4-5 tbsp pesto see body of post for options
- 1 extra large tomato
- 1 6x12 ciabatta loaf
- Calabrian oil or extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.
- Cut the tomatoes into thick slices and place them on a sheet pan. Season generously with Calabrian oil or extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper, and roast for 20-25 minutes until soft.
- Slice open the ciabatta loaf and toast for 5 minutes, just until the outside is crunchy.
- Assemble the sandwich: On the bottom layer, add the roasted tomatoes. Next, add the mortadella. On top of the mortadella, add the stracciatella and spread it evenly. Salt the stracciatella if it isn’t already salty. On the top side of the loaf, spread a generous amount of pesto.
- Combine both sides and cut into 3-4 sandwiches.
