Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the medium onion into thin rings. 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 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning, then set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the lettuce leaves and pat them dry. Slice the tomato into thin rounds, and set both aside for assembly.

Assembly and Grilling

  1. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one slice of bread, layer the Italian deli meats, followed by the provolone cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce, and tomato slices. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Top with the second slice of bread.

  2. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    In the same skillet used for the onions, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is toasted golden brown and the cheese has melted.
