Serving ideas
Serve with a side of mixed greens or a light soup to complement the rich flavors. A crisp pickle or kettle-cooked chips also pair well for a classic deli-style meal.
Storage & leftovers
If you have leftovers, wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate. For best taste, eat within a day, as the bread may become soggy from the pesto and tomato. Reheat bacon separately to keep it crispy.
