I made these sandwiches with gluten-free bread and they were just as good as the regular version.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I had to omit the sun-dried tomatoes from this recipe. The sandwiches were still delicious!

These sandwiches were a bit too difficult to make. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I found these sandwiches to be a bit bland. I think I would add some more spices or herbs next time.

I made these sandwiches with whole wheat bread and they were still delicious. I also added some sliced avocado and they were even better!
