Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Brush melted butter over rolls; bake for 10 minutes. When the rolls have cooled slightly, slice them in half horizontally.
Combine the mayonnaise with the pesto; spread over the cut side of the ciabatta rolls, both top and bottom, if desired.
Divide the beef tenderloin slices between the rolls, then sprinkle with cheese.
Bake the rolls for 5 minutes or just until the cheese is nicely melted.
Top the tenderloin and cheese with crispy onions, then add mixed greens, tomatoes and cucumbers. Top with the other half of the roll, then slice the sandwich in two so it’s easier to handle. Serve at once.
