Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the onion into thin rings and the tomato into slices. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Grill the Onions

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Sauté until caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the baguette or Italian bread in half lengthwise. Lightly brush both sides with the remaining olive oil.

  4. 4

    Layer the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of the bread, layer the Italian deli meats evenly. Follow with the grilled onions, provolone cheese, lettuce, and tomato slices.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a grill pan or sandwich press over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich on the grill, pressing down gently. Grill for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the grill, cut in half, and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your delicious Grilled Italian Sandwich!
