The Dagwood
- 1 loaf Italian bread
- 8 dried figs
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 12 lb sliced ham
- 12 lb sliced deli turkey
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 slices monterey jack cheese
- olive oil
- oregano
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter bread and lightly toast.
- Thinly slice the figs removing stems.
- Cut loaf horizontally down the middle.
- Spread all of the cream cheese on both sides of the bread.
- Layer half of the figs, all of the ham (folded in half and overlapping across the sandwich), and turkey (layered same way as the ham).
- Add a small amount of olive oil and oregeno to taste.
- Add all of the slices of cheddar and jack cheese on top.
- I criss cross them like a checker board.
- Finally top with the remaining figs and put the top of the loaf on.
- Cut vertically into 4-5 slices and serve.
- Best served fresh while the bread is still warm from the toasting, but if you refrigerate and eat later, microwaving quickly (about 10-15 seconds) seems to do the trick.
