Grilled Salami & Cheese Sandwich
Grilled Salami & Cheese Sandwich
I was wanting to test out a rye bread recipe for my bread machine, and try something new with Provolone cheese and real German salami that I had brought back with me from Phuket, so after making a loaf of rye bread, turned out perfect, I made these for myself, my wife, and a visiting niece. These are excellent sandwiches! Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 2 slices rye bread, OR make from a shortcut
- 2 slices Provolone cheese
- salami, sliced, as needed
- green bell pepper, sliced, lightly fried, as needed
- butter, as needed
Instructions
- In a small pan lightly fry the thin sliced green bell pepper in just a bit of olive oil, when just getting soft, remove from the pan to a plate lined with paper towels. Set aside.
- Heat a heavy flat bottomed pan, cast iron is perfect, with about a tablespoon of butter. Lay down a slice of rye bread on the counter, place a slice of Provolone cheese on it, add several good layers of salami, on top of the salami add some of the green bell pepper, then top that with another slice of cheese. Take the other slice of bread and butter one side, place that on top of the sandwich with the buttered side facing up.
- When the pan is hot, pick up the sandwich and place in the pan. Watch the bottom closely, takes only a minute or so to turn golden brown, then using a large spatula, carefully flip the sandwich over and cook the other side. When golden brown, remove to a plate and cut in half. Enjoy.
For just throwing these together, the flavor is perfect. My Thai wife and a niece each had one as well, their first time experiencing rye bread, real German salami, and Provolone cheese, they loved the sandwiches! I made these on 31 Mar 2017.
