Leftover Pesto Focaccia Sandwiches
Storing: Place the leftover sandwiches in an airtight container to retain their freshness. Stored properly, they can keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Reheating: Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature to enjoy your sandwich warm. Warm the sandwiches on a baking sheet for about 5-10 minutes. This method helps to revive the crispness of the focaccia.
Enjoying Cold: If you prefer, the sandwich can also be enjoyed cold straight from the refrigerator. The flavors would have melded together, offering a different but delightful taste experience.
Freezing: Although it's best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze individual portions wrapped tightly in cling film. The frozen sandwiches can keep well for up to a month. To enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and follow the above reheating instructions.
