We really enjoyed these! First night we made sandwiches and the second night we ate them with brown rice pilaf and asparagus. These are going in my keepers cookbook. I added some red bell pepper as I wanted to use it up. I also baked them in the oven at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes on parchment paper. Thanks for posting the recipe! Made for Photo tag.
