Notes
These Margherita sandwiches contain some of my favorite ingredients, the thick sliced mozzarella, arugula, and pesto combine to make an unforgettable sandwich! But this sandwich tastes best fresh, not placed in the refrigerator and saved for later. Something about the magic of the skillet and the cheese.. Enjoy!
