Season to taste with freshly ground salt and pepper. Put the top slice on and...

Tips from the chef

Tip 1

"You can also grill the sandwich if you have already filled it. That way, the ingredients meld together even better. You can also use any other pre-sliced foccacia or panini."

Tip 2

"Take a look in your fridge and look for vegetables that need to be used up. Cut them into small pieces and grill. That way, you save costs and you can let your creativity run wild."

Tip 3

"You don't necessarily have to top this sandwich with (vegan) cheddar. You can go for any (vegan) melting cheese, such as mozzarella or gouda. Again, take a look inside your fridge and let your creativity run wild!"

Buy white or brown, (un)sliced or (un)filled and serve cold, lukewarm or hot. Go for the classic foccacia or variations on this classic such as a panini or a schiacciata. Whichever Italian bread you choose: your customers are guaranteed to love these sunny sandwiches!
