Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices baguette or crusty bread cut into individual sandwich portions
  • 8 slices cured meats such as salami, mortadella, or prosciutto
  • 4 slices tangy cheese like provolone or mozzarella
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for toasting the bread
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Toaster or oven
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Skillet or grill pan

Method
 

  1. Slice the bread into individual portions and brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
  2. Toast the bread slices in a toaster or oven until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Arrange the cured meats evenly on half of each bread slice, layering them for a hearty filling.
  4. Add slices of cheese over the meats, pressing gently so it adheres well.
  5. Add roasted pepper strips on top of the cheese, distributing them evenly for color and flavor.
  6. Place the top bread slice over the layered ingredients to assemble the sandwich, pressing lightly to secure the layers.
  7. Gently press the assembled sandwiches and cut them in half diagonally or straight across, as preferred.
  8. Serve immediately with extra roasted peppers on the side or enjoy as is, savoring the crispy exterior and savory fillings.
