🥛Milk🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a vegetarian version, this already fits well; to avoid dairy, swap the creamy spread and cheese for vegan versions that melt well. For gluten-free needs, use sturdy gluten-free bread and check that the pesto and mustard are certified gluten-free.
What to serve with it
Serve with a simple vegetable soup or a handful of olives and roasted peppers to round out the meal. A crisp sparkling water, iced tea, or light white wine also pairs well with the rich, herby flavors.
