Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Ingredients

    Thinly slice the pepperoni, soppressata, provolone cheese, and red onion. Aim for even slices to enhance the presentation and ease of assembly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Aioli

    If using homemade aioli, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, garlic, and slowly add olive oil while whisking until it emulsifies. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If using store-bought, simply measure out 50 grams.

Assembly

    Slice the Bread

    Cut the Italian bread or baguette horizontally to create a sandwich base.

  2. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    Spread a generous layer of house aioli on the bottom half of the bread. Start layering with pepperoni, followed by soppressata, provolone cheese, and finish with red onion slices.

  3. 5

    Finish the Sandwich

    Place the top half of the bread over the layered ingredients. Press down gently to help the sandwich hold together.

Serving

  1. 6

    Cut and Serve

    Cut the sandwich into halves or quarters for easier consumption. Serve immediately and enjoy your Italian Deli sandwich!
