A delightful and flavorful sandwich perfect for picnics or casual gatherings.
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, leaving one side attached.
Use a serrated knife to avoid crushing the baguette.
Rub the cut sides of the baguette with the garlic clove.
For a milder garlic flavor, lightly toast the bread before rubbing.
Drizzle olive oil evenly over both sides of the bread.
Ensure even coverage for a balanced flavor.
Layer the tomato slices, cucumber slices, red onion, olives, cheese, eggs, capsicum, capers, and artichoke hearts on one side of the baguette.
Arrange the ingredients evenly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
Spread the pesto sauce on the other side of the baguette.
Use a generous amount for a rich flavor.
Sprinkle fresh herbs over the filling and close the sandwich.
Press gently to secure the filling.
Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest under a weight for 1-3 hours.
This step allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Unwrap, slice into portions, and serve.
Serve with a side of fresh salad or chips for a complete meal.
