| Pineapple cheese spread | 1 1⁄2 Tablespoon | |

Set aside both slices to use later as a bread basket base and lid.
Using a gentle sawing motion, cut vertically to bottom of loaf, 1/2 inch from edge.
Lift out center for sandwiches, and trim 1/2 inch around outside of center portion to allow room for the sandwiches in the basket, and make serving easier.

To assemble basket, set bread base on platter, replace bread shell on base, and line with lettuce.
Turn each wedge of bread on its side, and cut into 4 equal slices.
