Since many of the Italian grinder sandwich recipes are meant to feed a crowd, I paired it down to two sandwiches. The flavor is all there and is equally delicious the next day cold!
Ingredients
- 2 ciabattas rolls , sliced in half
- 5 thins slices provolone cheese
- 4 thins slices deli turkey
- 4 thins slices deli ham
- 4 thins slices soppressata
- 4 thins slices prosciutto
- 16 slices mini pepperoni
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese , or to taste
- 1 medium tomato , thinly sliced
- 1 drizzle olive oil , or to taste
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
-
2
Place sliced rolls on the prepared baking sheet (if the top half of roll rocks from side to side too much, slice a tiny bit of the top off). Place 1 slice of provolone on each slice of bread. Tear up the remaining slice of provolone to cover any open bread areas.
-
3
Bake in the preheated oven until melted (not browned), about 8 minutes. Remove from oven; leave the oven on.
-
4
Fold two pieces of turkey onto two slices of bread. Fold two pieces of ham onto the other slices of bread.
-
5
Layer 2 slices of soppressata on top of the turkey. Fold 2 slices of prosciutto onto ham. Place four pepperoni pieces on top of each bread half.
-
6
Sprinkle slices with some of the Parmesan cheese. Place back into the oven and let bake until pepperoni is looking crispy, about 12 minutes.
-
7
While slices bake, make the grinder salad. Add mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes to a bowl. Whisk to combine.
-
8
Add lettuce, onion, and pepperoncinis to the dressing. Toss to coat.
-
9
Remove sandwiches from the oven. Top 2 of the ciabatta slices with tomato slices. Using tongs, place a layer of salad on top of the tomatoes. Sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese.

Place the non-salad slices on top of the salad ones. Cut each sandwich in half and serve.

Tangerine-Cranberry Sauce
This is my version of a cranberry relish that my mom made when I was a kid. If you can, make it 1 or 2 days in advance, as the flavors need to mellow a little bit in the fridge.
Crispy Chinese Noodles
Serve these crispy noodles with Chinese mustard and duck sauce as an appetizer, or use them as a garnish for soups. They're just like the ones you get at a Chinese restaurant. I love to sprinkle them over my egg-drop soup.
Slow Cooker Chicken Tinga
A spicy chicken and chile dish. A good friend of mine from Guadalajara who works hard to make this on the stove inspired me to make my own version in the slow cooker. Serve on tostada shells and garnish with chopped cilantro and onions.
