Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the onion and tomato. Shred the lettuce and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Onions

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cut the Italian bread or ciabatta rolls in half. Brush the outside of the bread with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Layer the deli meats and provolone cheese on the inside of the bread. Top with the sautéed onions, lettuce, and tomato.

  4. 4

    Toast the Sandwich

    Place the sandwich on the grill, pressing down slightly. Grill for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the grill, slice in half, and serve warm. Enjoy your Grilled Italian Sandwich!
