Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Ciabatta roll
- 1 tablespoon pesto sauce
- 1 tablespoon chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 slices fresh mozzarella
- 3 slices Ham
- 1 slice Salami
- 1 slice Cracked Black Pepper Salami
- 1 slice Pepperoni
- 1 slice Turkey Pepperoni
Instructions
- Open the ciabatta roll and spread 1 tablespoon of pesto sauce evenly over the inside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of chopped sun-dried tomatoes, distributing them evenly over the pesto.
- Add the 2 slices of fresh mozzarella.
- Layer the 3 slices of ham, 1 slice of salami, 1 slice of cracked black pepper salami, 1 slice of pepperoni, and 1 slice of turkey pepperoni evenly over the mozzarella.
- Close the sandwich and toast until the ciabatta is lightly crisp and the filling is warmed through and the mozzarella is softened.
- Carefully remove from the heat, slice if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use a sturdy ciabatta roll so it can hold the pesto, mozzarella, and layered meats without becoming difficult to handle.
- Distribute the meats and sun-dried tomatoes evenly for a balanced bite throughout the sandwich.
- Toast just until the bread is crisp and the mozzarella is warm and softened to avoid over-toasting the ciabatta.
