Sandwich Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Ingredients
Slice the onion into thin rings. If using a medium tomato, slice it into rounds. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.
Grill the Onions
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté them for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble and Grill the Sandwich
Layer the Sandwich
On one slice of ciabatta or Italian bread, layer the Italian deli meats, followed by the grilled onions, and then the provolone cheese. Top with fresh lettuce and tomato slices.
Drizzle with Oil
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil on the inside of the second slice of bread.
Grill the Sandwich
Place the assembled sandwich on a preheated grill or panini press. Grill for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
