Ingredients

  • 8 slices crusty Italian bread, cut in 1/2-inch thick slices
  • 8 slices deli roast beef
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1 container (8-10 oz.) roasted peppers, drained, rinsed and chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. green olives, with pimientos; diced
  • extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing

Instructions

Make four sandwiches with bread, roast beef, cheese, and a sprinkling of diced roasted peppers and olives.

Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat.

Brush sandwiches on both sides with olive oil. Grill sandwiches 2-3 minutes on each side.

Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.

Suggestions

For a "pressed" sandwich, wrap a brick completely in foil; or have an additional very heavy pan available. Place the foil-wrapped brick or heavy pan on the sandwich while grilling.
