Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.
- 2 long white sandwich rolls (about 30 cm each)
- 8 slices mild salami
- 8 slices pepperoni
- 8 slices leg ham
- 4 slices cheese (about 20 g each)
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 tomato, thinly sliced
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Italian herb dressing
Method
- Split the rolls without cutting all the way through, and warm them for 3 minutes in a low oven if you like a crisp crust.
- Layer the meats in the B.M.T. order: salami first, then pepperoni, then ham, overlapping along the roll.
- Lay the cheese over the meats and, for the toasted style, grill for 2 minutes until it just melts.
- Add lettuce, tomato and onion. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sauce, close, press gently, and cut on the diagonal.
