Whole Foods: Artichoke Muffaleta Sandwiches

Sometimes you just want a hot sandwich for dinner. Minimal effort, but with all the taste and comfort of a good and hearty meal. Or at least that’s what has happened in my house in the past few weeks! This sandwich came from a “let’s empty the fridge and see what we can make” night. One of the best parts, it’s meatless for our vegetarian nights but can be easily adapted with chicken, bacon, pancetta, or a nice turkey slice.
