EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

No need to use artichoke hearts if someone doesn’t like them. The sandwiches have plenty of filling without them.

Fontina cheese has a mild, nutty flavor and melts easily, making it perfect for warm sandwiches.

This was a great sandwich! I skipped the artichokes (they're not my favorite, and I knew my kids would never eat it)and added pre-cooked bacon. They were wonderful! The pesto mayo really made the sandwich. I made extra to put on sandwiches for the rest of the week. Served with canned tomato soup and, ta-dah! A quick, easy week-night supper! Yum!

Loved it! This was an excellent sandwich. I don't care too much for artichokes, so I left them out. Can't wait to make it for my husband. It was quick and easy.
