Sandwich Ingredients
Method
Sandwich Preparation
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by slicing the onion, tomato, and deli meats. Set them aside for assembly.
Grill the Onions
In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until caramelized and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Assemble the Sandwich
Take the Italian bread or ciabatta rolls and cut them in half. On the bottom half, layer the grilled onions, followed by the Italian deli meats, and then add slices of provolone cheese. Top with fresh lettuce and tomato slices.
Grill the Sandwich
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.
Serve
Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Cut it in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your Grilled Italian Sandwich!
