Tomato, Pesto & Cheddar Pretzel Sandwich
Remember last year when I spent a whole week talking about sandwiches? Well, I seem to have returned to my sandwich kick and something tells me it has to do with birds chirping, sun shining and spring thunderstorms.
We have had all three of those things happening lately and for some reason, I am craaaaving sandwiches again. I made these salted pretzel rolls with the pure intention of making sandwiches with them.
This sandwich combination just screams spring and summer to me. It’s so simple too; barely a recipe. I lightly toasted the pretzel roll, slathered it with (store-bought) pesto on each side, added some sliced tomato, and sharp white cheddar cheese.
What flavors come to mind when you think of spring and summer?

I totally just saved this recipe. I need to make these rolls asap.
I really, really want this for lunch! P.S. You are so creative, Cassie! I need to hang in your kitchen sometime!!
Oh you’re so right, this is just summer in a sandwich! Love that flavour combination.
Pesto on a sandwich beats mayo any day.
I’m still thinking of your fabulous pretzel rolls. I must try them Cassie! What a perfect sandwich.
Deliciousness all in one sandwich. Love pesto!!
Oh YUM!!!! You’ve got my mouth watering! I’ve made soft pretzels before, but have never thought of making soft pretzel BUNS. Genius!
Sometimes the most classic flavor combos are the best! You just can’t go wrong with tomato+pesto+cheese. And on these soft, fluffy pretzel buns? I’m sold! Let the picnic season begin.
PS. Spring flavor to me is all about asparagus, bright berries, green tea. Fresh, fresh, fresh is back at last!
i have a bunch of pesto in my freezer that i need to use up before i start growing basil again! this sounds like a perfect way to use it
What a perfect use for pesto!
You can’t go wrong with pesto! Evah.
Love this as a super simple lunch option! I need to make a batch of pretzel rolls to stash in my freezer.
This sandwich looks incredible! I love the idea of using a pretzel roll for it!
Oh, how I love a good sandwich. I want this so badly. And it puts my plain, dry, turkey on regular white I had for lunch today to shame!
I love pesto and tomatoes! I eat a tomato almost every day….like most people eat an apple a day
And this bread. Cassie, so good! Pinning (and I almost never pin savory food…lol…but this is just too good not to!)
Salted pretzel rolls are definitely an obsession of mine! Nothing says summer to me more than pesto does. What a great sandwich.

I’m afraid it would be terribly bad to have those pretzel rolls in my house… and this sandwich? Oh my! Yum!
I just saw somewhere that April is sandwich month, Cassie. Although I realize every month/day is devoted to something, it certainly does have me thinking about sandwiches! This is an awesome combination!
