Sandwich Components

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Baguette

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and place it on a baking sheet. Toast it in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until lightly golden.

  2. 2

    Layer the Meats

    On the bottom half of the toasted baguette, layer the mortadella, prosciutto, salami, and spicy soppressata evenly.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Greens

    Place the provolone cheese slices on top of the meats, followed by a generous layer of romaine lettuce.

  4. 4

    Spread the Condiments

    Spread the roasted garlic aioli on the top half of the baguette and drizzle the red wine vinaigrette over the lettuce.

  5. 5

    Finish the Sandwich

    Sprinkle the Mercantile giardy over the vinaigrette, then carefully place the top half of the baguette on the sandwich. Press down gently to compact the ingredients.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the sandwich into individual servings and serve immediately, or wrap it up for a delicious meal on the go.
