Description
A classic Italian sandwich featuring layers of meats, cheese, and a flavorful olive salad, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf (10-12 inches) round Italian bread
- 8 ounces sliced mortadella
- 8 ounces sliced salami
- 8 ounces sliced ham
- 8 ounces sliced provolone cheese
- 1 cup olive salad (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the round Italian bread in half horizontally. If desired, hollow out some of the bread from the top half to make room for the fillings.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive salad with the extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Spread half of the olive salad mixture evenly on the bottom half of the bread.
- Layer the mortadella, salami, ham, and provolone cheese on top of the olive salad.
- Spread the remaining olive salad on top of the cheese layer.
- Place the top half of the bread on the sandwich and press down gently.
- Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, let it chill for 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, slice the sandwich into wedges and serve cold or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the meats with roasted vegetables and add extra cheese.
- Experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, to customize the flavor.
