Ingredients
- 6 crusty rolls or ciabatta rolls
- 150g fresh pesto
- 100g Gruyère, thinly sliced
- 200g sweet smoky shredded beetroot (or 200g cooked beetroot, drained and coarsely grated)
- 1 x 150g pack mozzarella, drained
- 1 x 280g jar chargrilled peppers antipasto, drained
Step by step
Get ahead
Assemble these up to 1 day in advance; wrap and chill.
- Carefully slice away a lid from each roll; set aside. Use your fingers to scoop out the bread from the centre of the rolls (turn these into breadcrumbs and freeze for future use), leaving a thin layer of bread inside the crust.
- Spread the pesto all over the inside of the roll bases and lids. Layer up the Gruyère, beetroot, mozzarella and peppers (in that order) in the cavity of the rolls, then replace the lids. Wrap tightly in clingfilm, foil or baking paper and keep in a cool place until you're ready to eat.
