Saw this recipe on a blog, the picture of the sandwich made me salivate. Made it this weekend and it was awesome. I changed the pesto recipe slightly to suit my taste but nothing major. This recipe is a definite keeper. Pesto instead of the usual cream cheese is very refreshing. Pictures are on my blog if you'd like to see them.
