Sandwich Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Onions
Slice the medium onion into thin rings. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion slices and sauté until they are soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Sandwich
Take one piece of bread and layer it with the assorted Italian deli meats. Add the sautéed onions, then place the provolone cheese on top. Top with crispy lettuce and sliced tomato. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Place the second piece of bread on top to close the sandwich.

Grill the Sandwich
Heat a grill pan or a panini press over medium-high heat. Brush the outside of the sandwich with the remaining olive oil. Grill the sandwich for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
