Had this for lunch today and it is excellent! Loved the garlic and olive oil on the bread - I will use that idea again on other sandwiches. Only change I made was to use basil instead of oregano - just a personal preference. I also used proscuitto and Fontina cheese. Thanks so much for posting this great recipe, Jovi.
