Grilled Mortadella and Muenster Monster Sub
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons minced pitted oil-cured black olives
- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 small clove garlic, minced or grated
- 1/4 teaspoon honey
- Kosher salt
- 2 pounds mortadella, sliced about 1/8 inch thick
- 6 ounces muenster cheese, thinly sliced
- 1 24 -inch baguette
- 2 beefsteak tomatoes, sliced
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- Preheat a grill to medium high.
- Make the olive aioli: Mix the mayonnaise, olives, mustard, garlic and honey in a bowl.
- Taste and add salt if necessary.
- Make a small cut on the edge of each slice of mortadella to prevent it from curling as it cooks.
- Grill the mortadella until marked, then flip, top with a slice of cheese and grill until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 more minutes.
- (You can also cook the mortadella in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes per side.)
- Sandwich build: Split the baguette in half lengthwise and toast lightly on the grill.
- Schmear the olive aioli on the baguette top.
- Layer the cheese-topped mortadella on the baguette bottom.
- Top with the tomatoes, lettuce and the baguette top.
- Cut into individual sandwiches.
