05 Step

Place the wrapped sandwiches in the refrigerator. To compress the filling and meld the flavors, place a plate on top of the sandwiches, then weigh it down with cans or other heavy objects. Chill for at least 3 hours, or up to overnight. (3+ hours)
06 Step
Recipe View
Unwrap the sandwiches, cut them in half (if desired), and serve chilled. Enjoy the symphony of Italian flavors! (5 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze before wrapping the sandwiches.
Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite Italian deli meats and cheeses. Mortadella, capicola, or even a sharp provolone would be delicious additions.
If you don't have pepperoncini, banana peppers or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes can provide a similar tangy kick.
