Prosciutto and Broccoli Rabe Pesto Sandwich

Although its flavors are complex, crafting this panini is elementary. Simply pan-fry broccoli with our Pecorino Romano until cooked and melty, and top with honey. Then spread the savory blend on thick slices of artisan bread, and layer on Boar’s Head Prosciutto and Provolone.
