Italian Stuffed Toast (Toast Farcito)

Recipesfull introduces to you: Sandwich Recipes. (Italian Stuffed Toast (Toast Farcito)). The first time I went to a bar with friends in Italy, I was very curious when they offered me 'toast' as pub grub. When this panino showed up I understood that Italian toast and American toast is NOT the same thing. Cooked ham, fontina cheese, and giardiniera make up this hot panino that goes well with your favorite Italian beer.
