# What You'll Need:
→ Bread & Dairy
01 - 4 slices Italian bread or sturdy white sandwich bread
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
03 - 4 slices provolone cheese
→ Meats
04 - 6 slices salami
05 - 6 slices pepperoni

09 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
10 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
→ Optional Additions
11 - 2 tablespoons mild pepperoncini rings, drained
12 - 2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion
# How to Prepare:
01 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded iceberg lettuce, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
02 - Lay out all bread slices and spread one side of each with softened butter evenly.
03 - Place two bread slices buttered side down on a clean work surface. Top each slice with 2 slices of provolone cheese, followed by 3 slices of salami and 3 slices of pepperoni.
04 - If desired, distribute mild pepperoncini rings and thinly sliced red onion evenly over the meat and cheese layers.
05 - Spread the prepared lettuce mixture evenly across the meats and cheese on each sandwich.
06 - Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing up.
07 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place assembled sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, applying gentle pressure with a spatula, until the bread achieves a golden-brown color and the cheese melts completely.
08 - Transfer sandwiches to a cutting board, slice diagonally in half, and serve immediately while hot.
