Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Prepare Your Ingredients by slicing the sourdough bread into thick pieces if not pre-sliced. Then, thinly slice the roasted red peppers to ensure they are ready to layer onto your sandwich. Gather all your ingredients so they're within reach.
  • Mix the Cheeses by combining the shredded mozzarella, provolone, and grated Parmesan cheeses in a mixing bowl. Use a fork or your hands to mix them well until they are evenly blended.
  • Spread the Mayonnaise on each slice of sourdough bread, applying an even layer on one side. Generously sprinkle Italian seasoning over the mayonnaise for added flavor.
  • Layer the Ingredients by placing half of the cheese mixture evenly across the unspread side of two slices of bread.
  • Add Deli Meats and Peppers by layering the thinly sliced deli meats of your choice over the cheese, followed by the sliced roasted red peppers.
  • Top with More Cheese by sprinkling the remaining cheese mixture generously over the deli meats and roasted red peppers. Place the other two slices of bread on top, mayo side up.
  • Preheat Your Skillet over medium heat until hot, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  • Cook the Sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
  • Flip and Finish Cooking by gently flipping the sandwiches over and cooking for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are evenly browned.
  • Rest and Slice by letting the sandwiches rest for 1 minute before cutting each in half to reveal the layers.
  • Serve with Dipping Sauces like marinara or basil pesto for a delightful accompaniment.
