Italian Cheese Loaf image

Here's a deliciously different sandwich. It's yummy warm from the oven or off the grill at a cookout. The cheesy filling is complemented by a mix of garden-fresh ingredients and crusty bread. I usually serve it with a salad and onion rings. -Mary Ann Marino, West Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
