Categories     Appetizers

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups fresh basil, washed and dried
2 cloves garlic
⅓ cup pine nuts
½ cup olive oil
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 bread, medium round loaf
½ tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
7 slices mozzarella cheese
8 slices tomato
10 slices turkey
8 slices bacon, cooked and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Make the pesto: In a food processor, combine the basil, garlic, pine nuts, and olive oil. Blend for 30 seconds, or until thick and saucy.
  • Add the Parmesan and salt and blend for another 30 seconds, or until thoroughly combined.
  • Cut the top off the loaf of bread. Use a serrated knife to cut a circle in the center of the bread, then use a large spoon to scoop out the inside. Try to keep bread in one piece.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll the excess bread into one flat piece of bread. Spread melted butter on both side of the rolled out bread and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove the toasted bread from the oven.
  • Assemble the sandwich: Place bread bowl in an oven-safe pan. Spread pesto on the bottom of the inside of the bread bowl, then layer in half of the mozzarella slices, 4 slices of tomatoes, 5 slices of turkey, and 4 chopped slices of bacon.
  • Top with the toasted bread and brush with pesto. Add the remaining bacon, turkey, tomato, and cheese. Finally, spread pesto on the bottom lid of the bread and over the cheese. Place the lid of bread on top of it and then press down with a heavy oven-safe pan.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Enjoy!

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of turkey and pesto seems a bit odd to me.

This recipe was a disaster! The bread bowl didn't turn out right and the pesto was too oily. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

I'm not a big fan of pesto, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The pesto was actually really good and the combination with the turkey and cheese was perfect.

This recipe was a little too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning.

This was so easy to make and it turned out great! I used a store-bought pesto and it still tasted amazing. The bread bowl was a fun and unique way to serve it.

I made this for dinner last night and it was delicious! The pesto was flavorful and the turkey was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
