Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Italian bread (sliced)
- 6 slices Prosciutto
- 6 slices Salami
- 6 slices Mortadella
- 6 slices Provolone cheese
- 12 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 6 strips Roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
- 4 tablespoons Pesto sauce
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat a pan or electric griddle over medium heat.
Spread a thin layer of pesto sauce on one side of each slice of Italian bread.
Lay out 6 slices of bread, pesto-side up, as the sandwich bases.
Top each base with one slice of prosciutto, one slice of salami, one slice of mortadella, and one slice of provolone cheese.
Place two fresh basil leaves and one strip of roasted red pepper on top of the cheese layer.
Cover each sandwich with another slice of bread, pesto-side down.
Spread a thin layer of butter on the outer side of each sandwich (the top slice).
Place the sandwiches on the preheated pan or griddle, buttered side down, and press gently with a spatula.
Spread butter on the other outer side of each sandwich while the bottom toasts.
Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and toast the other side for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Remove the sandwiches from the griddle when both sides are crispy and golden brown.
Let the sandwiches cool for a minute, then cut each into 3 equal finger-sized pieces using a sharp knife.
Arrange on a platter and serve warm or at room temperature.
