Ingredients
Scale
Bread & Butter
- 2 slices of bread (such as Italian or white bread)
- Butter, softened, for spreading
Cheeses
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced provolone cheese
Meats
- 2–3 slices of assorted Italian meats (such as salami, pepperoni, or capicola)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will help achieve a golden, crispy exterior when grilling.
- Layer the Fillings: On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, layer the mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, and Italian meats evenly to ensure each bite is flavorful.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing outwards to maximize crispiness.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheeses are melted thoroughly.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the sandwich from the pan, slice it diagonally or into preferred shapes, and serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- Use medium heat to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
- Feel free to substitute Italian meats with your favorite deli meats or omit for a vegetarian option.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or a little grated Parmesan inside the sandwich before grilling.
- Serve with a side of marinara sauce or pickles for a complementary taste.
