A long time favorite, since my college days.
Ingredients:
-French bread loaf, uncut. 1/2 loaf per adult serving.
-Smoked ham, not honey ham. Deli sliced thin.
-(Pepperoni and salami, if you've got some. I did not have any on hand today.)
-provolone cheese, sliced
-Chopped black olives
-Italian dressing (vinegar and oil in a pinch)
-cherry peppers, blended. (Just dump a jar of cherry peppers in a blender to make this.) I learned that trick while working at a deli!
-Romaine lettuce
-Thinly sliced tomato
Directions:
2. Start slicing lettuce and tomatoes and olives.
3. Put French bread in oven to warm, 6-8 minutes. Uncovered.
4. Pull bread out and cool until you can handle it. 2-3 minutes.
5. Cut bread into 2 halves.
6. Slice open bread from one side, do not cut through, so you can open it like a book.
7. With your fingers, remove most of the soft doughy inside of the loaf.
8. Layer meats, cheese and olives on the open faced sandwich and return to oven until cheese is melted. About 5 minutes.
9. Place tomatoes and lettuce on one side of the sandwich, drizzle italian dressing and blended cherry peppers on the veggies.
10. Close the sandwich. Slice at a diagonal and serve!
