Ingredients

  • ounces mortadella thin
  •  pickled cherry peppers jarred finely chopped
  • ounces capicola thin
  • slices sourdough bread 
  • ounces pancetta thin
  • ounces provolone cheese thin
  • ounces soppressata dry such as soppressata, in 1/16-inch thin slices

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • grill pan
  • cutting board
  • panini press

Directions

  1. Butter half the bread slices on one side, and lay them buttered side down on a cutting board.
  2. Lay half the cheese on the slices, then scatter the peppers over the cheese.
  3. Layer the meats over the cheese: mortadella, then coppa, then salami, then prosciutto.
  4. Layer the remaining cheese, then top with the rest of the bread, buttering the outside.
  5. Heat a panini press or ridged grill pan and lay the sandwiches (cooking in batches if necessary) inside or on top. If using a grill pan, weigh the sandwich down with a heavy skillet, such as cast iron. Cook over medium-low heat until the bread is golden and crisp, then flip to cook the other side.
  6. Cut the sandwiches on a diagonal and serve with a small salad, if desired.
