Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (such as Italian or sourdough)
- 2 oz mozzarella cheese, sliced or shredded
- 2 oz provolone cheese, sliced
- 3–4 oz Italian deli meats (such as salami, capicola, and pepperoni)
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
Instructions
- Assemble the sandwich: Lay one slice of bread on a flat surface. Evenly layer the mozzarella and provolone cheeses on top, followed by the Italian deli meats. Place the second slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
- Prepare for grilling: Spread the softened butter evenly on the outer sides of both bread slices to ensure a golden, crispy crust when grilled.
- Grill the sandwich: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheeses are melted through.
- Slice and serve: Remove the sandwich from the pan, let it sit for a minute to cool slightly, then slice diagonally and serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- Use a heavy skillet or a panini press for best grilling results.
- You can substitute the Italian deli meats for any favorite cured meats or keep it vegetarian by omitting them.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of Italian herbs or garlic powder inside the sandwich before grilling.
- Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
