Spread mayonnaise and basil pesto on inside surfaces of top and bottom of loaf. Layer lettuce in the bottom, then top with sliced tomato, eggs, sun-dried tomatoes (if using), olives, mozzarella cheese, onion and turkey breast; cover with top of loaf.
- Step 3
Wrap sandwich well with plastic wrap and place in fridge. Place a large plate over top of sandwich and weigh it down with something heavy (e.g. can of beans). Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
- Step 4
When ready to serve, cut into six wedges and serve.
Tips
Leftover bread can be used to make croutons. Preheat oven to 250°F. Cut bread into cubes and toss with 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil and 1 tbsp (15 mL) Parmesan cheese. Spread on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes or until bread is golden brown.
