What do I need?
- 1 large round cob loaf
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp basil pesto

How do I make it?
- Slice the top off the cob loaf and set aside. Scoop out the centre of the loaf, leaving a 2-centimetre-thick shell.
- Mix mayonnaise and pesto together in a bowl and then spread the inside of the shell and lid with the mayonnaise and pesto mixture.
- Place a layer of salami over the base of the shell. Top with a layer of eggplant, cucumber, capsicum, brie, ham, Jarlsberg, artichokes and tomatoes. Repeat with any remaining ingredients.
- When loaf is filled with ingredients, top with the lid and wrap firmly in Multix Greener Clingfilm. Place loaf between two plates and weigh down with heavy cans. Place in fridge and leave to chill overnight.
- To serve, cut into wedges.
