I eat these during the work day generally.
It doesn't need to be heated up.
Perfect to pack if you're going somewhere.

Sometimes it's too hot to cook.
Sometimes I want to eat straight out the fridge.

Here are my favorite combinations <3

Inspired by all the memorable sandwiches I had in Italy on that pizza bianca bread.
