Directions

Step 1

Preheat a pan or electric griddle over medium heat.

Step 2

Spread a thin layer of pesto sauce on one side of each slice of Italian bread.

Step 3

Lay out 6 slices of bread, pesto-side up, as the sandwich bases.

Step 4

Top each base with one slice of prosciutto, one slice of salami, one slice of mortadella, and one slice of provolone cheese.

Step 5

Place two fresh basil leaves and one strip of roasted red pepper on top of the cheese layer.

Step 6

Cover each sandwich with another slice of bread, pesto-side down.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of butter on the outer side of each sandwich (the top slice).

Step 8

Place the sandwiches on the preheated pan or griddle, buttered side down, and press gently with a spatula.

Step 9

Spread butter on the other outer side of each sandwich while the bottom toasts.

Step 10

Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and toast the other side for an additional 3-5 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the sandwiches from the griddle when both sides are crispy and golden brown.

Let the sandwiches cool for a minute, then cut each into 3 equal finger-sized pieces using a sharp knife.

Arrange on a platter and serve warm or at room temperature.
