Description

A stacked Italian sandwich with layers of cured meats, provolone cheese, roasted red peppers, and green pesto between thick slices of crusty bread, perfect for a bold and flavorful meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 thick slices of crusty bread
  • 6 ounces sliced Italian meats (ham, salami, mortadella)
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 0.5 cup roasted red peppers
  • 2 tablespoons green pesto
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)


Instructions

  1. Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface.
  2. Spread pesto evenly on one side of each slice.
  3. Layer the Italian meats evenly over the bread slices.
  4. Add provolone cheese slices on top of the meats.
  5. Place roasted red peppers evenly over the cheese.
  6. Optionally, drizzle a small amount of olive oil for extra richness.
  7. Top with the remaining bread slices and press lightly to hold layers together.
  8. Slice diagonally and serve immediately, or lightly press in a panini press for melted cheese.

Notes

  • Use thick crusty bread to prevent sogginess.
  • Layer ingredients evenly to maintain structure.
  • Press gently for slightly melted cheese if desired.
