About the recipe

People love a piadina, especially in northern Italy – it’s basically a toasted flatbread filled with something delicious. In this recipe, Italy meets classic college fodder, and honestly, in its own cute way, it’s artisanal and will get your tastebuds going. If you want to round it off nicely, a simple salad on the side is perfect.
