Notes

1. Bread - any type of bread will work just fine but artisan style breads like sourdough, ciabatta and similar work best because they will hold together better and get a better crust so it's easier to hold and eat.

2. Make ahead - I've made this several times using deli cold cuts to take on flights! It puts aeroplane food to shame 🙂 Make it the day before, and bake. Wrap it up with foil again while warm, let cool then refrigerate. The flavours meld overnight and makes it even more amazing so you don't miss the melty cheese (promise). Consume at room temp for best experience!

3. Leftover Bread - Use it to make Italian meatballs! I use fresh chopped bread to make most of my Meatball recipes - it's the secret to extra soft and juicy meatballs!

4. Filling Ideas - see above the video in post for an extensive list of ideas. Think beyond the obvious - this can be made with almost ANY leftovers!
