This recipe is courtesy of Jennifer Zuk, winner of our 2011 Mezzetta® Make That Sandwich Contest. We loved this sandwich because of the juxtaposition of the sweet strawberries and the salty Kalamata olives. The combination of creamy goat cheese and spicy peperoncini is equally wonderful. A visually stunning sandwich that is great for brunch. Enjoy it with a fine glass of California sparkling wine!
