What You Need

  • 235g Heat & Serve Baguette
  • A Ball of Pizza Mozzarella
  • 2 Fresh Vine Tomatoes
  • Pickled Hot Peppers
  • Balsamic Reduction
PESTO
  • 1/4 C + 1 Tbsp. Pine Nuts
  • 5 - 6 Roasted & Salted Cashews
  • 1/4 C + EVOO
  • 1 Large Clove Garlic, smashed
  • 28g Fresh Basil
  • 1/4 C Fresh Parsley
  • 1/2 Lemon +, Juice
  • 1/3 C Grana Padano, chopped or shredded
  • 1/4 Tsp. + Himalayan Salt
  • A Pinch Cracked Pepper & Red Pepper Flakes

Directions

  • PESTO - Start by toasting your pine nuts in a small, dry skillet set to about medium Keep a watchful eye and stir / toss them in the skillet once it's warmed up until they're nice and golden, but not burnt. A couple dark ones are ok! Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the nuts to a small vortex blender. Add everything else listed for the pesto and blend until combined. Add more EVOO if needed for emulsification, and more lemon / salt for taste if you'd like. Set aside.​

  • Warm up the baguette according to package directions. Typically, they're between 400 and 425 for 5 - 8 minutes. Once heated, remove the baguette and cut it in to two, equal sized sandwich baguettes. Cut them open and spread a generous helping of pesto on both sides. Lay some tomato slices on the bottom of each and season the toms with salt & pepper. Lay a few slices of pizza mozzarella on the tomatoes and place both the bottoms of the sammies on a parchment lined baking sheet. Set the oven to broil and return them to the oven until the cheese is nice and melty.
  • To assemble, simply slap on some delicious pickled hot peppers followed by a drizzle of balsamic reduction, and press the top on. I rolled the sammies in parchment and sliced them to keep them together, but that's not a necessity. Slice them in half and serve em' up! ENJOY!
