INGREDIENTS

• For 4 sandwiches: 4 6" hoagie buns. (French bread loaf, cut into four buns can also be used.)
• 8 slices deli ham
• 8 slices Swiss or American cheese
• yellow mustard - not Dijon or spicy
• 4 slices salami
• sliced dill pickles

DIRECTIONS

• (The desired end result is a sandwich with a crunchy crust which is somewhat flattened. Prepare the sandwich with the end result in mind.) Split each bun in-half for a top and bottom. Lay two slices of cheese on the bottom bun half to cover the bun with cheese. Apply a liberal amount of mustard on the cheese. Lay one slice of ham, length-wise on the cheese/mustard and fold the ham over on itself so the ham remains on the bun and not hanging over the side of the bun. Repeat with second piece of ham.
• Add dill pickle slices the length of the bun. Cut the slice of salami in-half and cover the length of the bun with salami. Place the top of the bun on the sandwich to close the sandwich.
• The ideal would be to have a panini press sandwich maker but a flat-top grill or even a heavy skillet will work. Heat to 325°F. Place whole sandwich on heat. Close panini or if using grill or skillet, using a spatula or egg turner, flatten the sandwich to about 1/2 original height and cook. After about 2 minutes, turn sandwich over and cook until cheese begins to melt. Enjoy!
