Brick Compressed Sandwich
Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice the Ciabatta in half length wise. If your Ciabatta is thick , remove some of the bread from the center. Not all of the bread, just some.
- layer sliced deli meats and cheese followed by the peperoncini and roasted peppers. Top with the basil leaves. Cover with top layer of ciabatta.
- Place the entire loaf on a small cutting board and wrap with plastic wrap around the loaf and cutting board. Place two bricks or a cast iron pan on top of the wrapped loaf. This will weight down the sandwich and compress the ingredients together.
- Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight. Remove from the refrigerator. Cut way the plastic wrap and cut into individual sandwiches.
- If the sandwich is going to be wrapped up longer than 24 hours, I will add the basil right before I slice it. It has a tendency to wilt.
