For the bread, I used Sara Lee® Artesano™ Bread to make these delicious sandwiches. Sara Lee Artesano Bread is the ORIGINAL artisan-style sliced bread that the whole family loves. Its thick and soft slices make it a perfect addition to any sandwich and because it’s free of artificial colors, flavors, or high fructose corn syrup, it’s clearly a delicious balanced choice.
You can make the sandwich toasted or untoasted or serve it deli style with cold tomato and mozzarella. To serve the sandwiches toasted, simply melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet and toast the sandwich after assembling.
