It was good, but I'd prefer to have it on a thicker french bread

Made this last night and loved it; quick dinner and tasty! We substituted sliced turkey breast, added scallions, and used colby jack or pepperjack cheese on ours! Definitely making again

This would have been better with some think-sliced bread. The crusty french had an over-powering flavor and the texture wasn't great--but the insides...a perfect combo!!!
