Chef Larry's Recipe

Ingredients
  • 1 Rustic bread loaf round or oval
  • 1/3 cup Pesto
  • 1/3 lb. Smoked ham, sliced
  • 1/3 lb. Cappocola ham, sliced
  • 3 oz. Provolone cheese, sliced

  • 10 - 12 Fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1/3 cup Roasted red pepper strips
  • Salt to season
  • Fresh ground black pepper to season
  • 1/2 cup Olive oil
Method
Preheat grill pan. Using a serrated knife, carefully trim top and bottom crusts from bread loaf. Cut through trimmed bread loaf horizontally to create top and bottom slices.

Smear top and bottom slices with pesto. Lay out smoked ham, Cappocola ham, cheeses, tomato slices, roasted pepper strips and basil leaves onto bottom bread slice. Season with salt and pepper.

Top with remaining bread slice. Brush both sides with olive oil. Place on preheated grill and weigh down with a heavy skillet or pan. Cook on both sides weighted down until cheese is melted. Remove and slice into portions.
