How To Make layered italian sandwiches
-
Step 1Cut focaccia horizontally in half. Spread pesto on both cut sides of focaccia.
-
Step 2Layer salami, lettuce, tomatoes, turkey and cheese on bottom of focaccia; add top half of focaccia. Wrap the sandwich in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 6 hours) to blend flavors. Cut into 6 wedges just before serving.
-
Step 3NOTE: For a warm sandwich, try one reviewer’s suggestion of preparing it as listed above (without the lettuce though) and placing the finished sandwich covered with foil on a baking sheet and warming it in the oven just until the provolone is gooey. Add the lettuce if you wish, cut into 6 wedges, and serve warm.
