Grilled Cheese Italiano
- 2 slices Fresh Italian Bread
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- 3 slices Provolone Cheese
- 2 slices Genoa Salami
- 2 slices Prosciutto
- 1 Large Roasted Red Pepper, Sliced Into Strips
- Ground Black Pepper To Taste
- Butter each slice of bread on one side with approximately one tablespoon of butter.
- Grind some black pepper onto the butter to add a nice peppery taste to the bread.
- Put one slice of bread on your work surface, butter side down.
- Layer on 2 slices of the provolone, the Genoa salami, prosciutto, the third slice of provolone, and finally, the roasted red pepper slices.
- You can use as little or as as much as youd like.
- I sliced one large one into strips for each sandwich.
- Heat the remaining butter in a pan on medium-high heat.
- Place your layered bread onto the hot pan.
- Top with the other slice of bread, buttered side out, and press down firmly with a spatula or flipper.
- Keep a close eye on the temperature of the pan, and lift the sandwich occasionally to check on the browning.
- Once the sandwich is golden brown on the bottom (approximately 4-5 minutes), carefully flip it.
- Again, keep a close eye on the sandwich and check the browning every minute or so.
- The other side typically takes less time to brown.
- Every pan/stove element is different and you dont want to burn a perfect grilled cheeseespecially with this delicate and fluffy fresh Italian bread!
- Remove from heat when golden brown on each side.
- Let the sandwich sit for a moment to cool.
- Once cooled, carefully slice into it.
- Be mindful of the cured meats, as they can be tough to cut/bite into.
- Be firm when biting and cutting in order to avoid the sometimes inevitable slide-out.
