Tomato Pesto Sandwich with Leek & Garlic Pesto
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 4 ciabatta rolls
- 8 tablespoons Lesley Elizabeth Leek & Garlic Seasoning & Pesto
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- ½ cup water
- 8 ounces Swiss, Fontina, or your favorite melting cheese, sliced
- 2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 4 lettuce leaves
Instructions:
- Prepare the Leek & Garlic Pesto according to the package directions using EVOO and water. Preheat your broiler.
- Slice open the ciabatta rolls. Spread a generous amount of the prepared pesto on the bottom half of each roll. Top with a slice of cheese and a slice of tomato.
- Place the open-faced rolls on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese melts and the bread is slightly toasted—watch closely to prevent burning.

Serving Suggestions:
- Pair with a warm cup of tomato soup or a fresh garden salad.
