2 each Italian sandwich rolls (sub rolls or hero rolls, split for filling)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 clove raw garlic (optional, for brushing onto bread)

Meats

8 oz Italian deli meats (such as capicola, prosciutto, salami, and mortadella)

Cheese

6 slices provolone cheese slices

Greens and Veggies

4 slices romaine lettuce leaves, torn

2 medium tomato, sliced

1 cup grilled onions

1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

Seasoning and Finish

1/4 tsp salted Italian seasoning (optional)

1/4 tsp Cracked black pepper

1 tbsp additional olive oil (for brushing sandwich after grilling)

Method

Prep and Brushing Bread

Prepare rolls

Split the sandwich rolls lengthwise, leaving one hinge intact. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil and, if desired, rub a cut clove of garlic over the oil for an aromatic base.

Pre-heat grill or grill pan

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat until surface is hot and lightly sizzly.

Assemble First Layer

Layer meats

On the bottom half of each roll, layer the Italian deli meats evenly to cover the bread surface.

Add cheese

Place provolone slices over the meats to begin melty coverage when heated.

Grill and Melt

Toast and melt cheese

Close the sandwich halves with the top half and place on the grill. Grill for 2–4 minutes, flipping once, until bread is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.

Add Fresh Elements

Grilled onions and greens

While the sandwich finishes melting, arrange lettuce and tomato slices on a cutting board or plate.

Season vegetables

Lightly season tomato slices with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Combine

Once cheese is melted, remove sandwich, place on a cutting board, and add grilled onions on top of the cheese. Top with lettuce and tomato slices.

Finish and Serve

Drizzle or brush the outer crust with a touch of olive oil for shine and extra richness. Slice the sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately.

Optionally season with a light sprinkle of Italian seasoning and cracked pepper before serving.
