Inspired by the classic Coffee Pot sandwich from Bangor, Maine, this easy appetizer starts with a baked pizza crust topped with a creamy dill and garlic spread, finely chopped tomato, green pepper and onion, and a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese. It captures some of the signature flavors of the original sandwich in an easy-to-serve party appetizer.
