Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Spread the blue cheese mixture onto the bread. Top with the meat and mushrooms. Cover with provolone.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
  • Remove from oven and let sit for 3 minutes before portioning and serving. Garnish with fresh chives. Serve with a pickle.
