Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Make-Ahead Magic
You can assemble the bread and wrap it in foil up to 8 hours ahead of time. Keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake it.
Festive Touch
Rather than make just one kind of pesto-cheese mixture, why not make both and alternate it between slices of bread? Just mix ⅓ cup of each pesto with 1 cup of cheese.
Kitchen Secrets
If you don’t have heavy-duty foil, use two sheets of regular foil.
