Recipe Description
My friend Ellyn makes the most amazing pressed sandwiches. Ellyn is on the other side now so I can’t ask her about them. I set out to recreate them as best I could and the result was very tasty! The idea of putting lots of Italian meat, mozzarella cheese, basil and red pepper together between soft bread and pressing it with a couple of heavy books is just plain fun! Fresh soft Italian bread works best but a ciabatta bread would work as well. Buy good quality Italian meats. They are well worth the money. The older I get the more I learn that quality counts!!
