1. Find yourself some nice Torta or Cabbacia rolls. Slice each roll in half and lay them out on a large cookie sheet you have lined with tin foil.
2. In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup pesto and 1/3 cup mayonnaise.
3. Spread the pesto/mayo mixture over both sides of each roll.
4. Thinly slice 1 tomato and about half of a red onion.
6. Cover the tomatoes and onions with a nice big slice of provolone cheese.
7. Bake these beauties in the oven at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Turn the oven to broil, and let the cheese get nice and golden brown. Be careful here, you don’t want to scorch the heck out of them, which can happen quickly, so keep a close eye, won’t you?
8. Put each of the sandwich halves together…
and enjoy!
Please note, this sandwich goes well with a salad made of mixed greens, strawberries, blueberries, red onion, feta cheese, cinnamon pecans and Raspberry Poppy Seed Vinaigrette.
PS….Can you believe how WONDERFUL blueberries have been this year.
PPS…I can’t help but put them in everything.
PPPS…they don’t really work that well if you pop them into stir fry or meat loaf. Just FYI.

Recipe inspired by Costco
wow!!! you made my mouth water. I just ate one for lunch and was wondering how I could make my own sandwich. I will defiantly try it this weekend! thank you for this ad.
How long does that pesto last in your fridge?
This looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it; I love that sandwich at Costco.
Hi Lindsey,
There should be a date on you bottle, but they usually last for about a month. I generally can’t go through it that fast, so I freeze some of it in quart sized ziploc bags to use later. Good luck!

Ok, my BFF loves your blog and now she has me hooked! I can’t wait to try ALL of your recipes! Loving it! 😉
This is funny. My husband and I made a trip to Costco today and decided to grab a turkey provelone sandwich(to share). Tonight we were chatting over a glass of wine and my husband commented on the ham that was in the sandwich we shared at costco. I said it was just turkey, but he insisted it was turkey and ham…needless to say, you settled the fun argument that there was no ham on the sandwich…lol
Now I can make us one at home, sans ham..
Thankyou,
Susan
I work at Costco and I have to say I’m impressed! You nailed this recipe! I haven’t tried making them at home yet but I definitely will now!
I think you mean “Ciabatta” rolls 🙂
I love those sammies at Costco as well… especially the price! We also buy the torta rolls because they stay soft for so long and also freeze really well! (Incidentally, they make great cubans!!)
I think you missed olive oil- I definitely noticed my roll was drenched in olive oil. Might have been pan-toasted in it first? The bread was kind of crunchy… Thanks for the recipe!!
Love this sandwich! Thanks for recreating it so we can enjoy it at home!!
