This sandwich is a tasty and hearty meal. The spiciness of the calabarese is tempered with the juicy tomatoes, basil and creamy cheese. It all works together, and can be put together in a flash using pre sliced Armstrong Monterey Jack with Jalapeño Cheese. I sampled a slice (or two) and this cheese is so tasty with just the right amount of kick. Yum.
