- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon L&B Italian Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 1 small head iceberg lettuce, shredded

Directions
-
Heat the broiler to high.
-
Using a serrated knife, slice the French bread in half lengthwise. Using your hands, tear out the middle section of soft bread from each half of the loaf, leaving a ¼”-thick border. Crumble the soft bread into small pieces and reserve half of it.
-
In a small pot over low heat, melt the butter with the olive oil, Italian seasoning, minced garlic and reserved bread. Using a spoon or pastry brush, evenly coat the inside of the cut loaf with the seasoned butter and bread.
-
Evenly layer the provolone cheese slices on both sides of the bread and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Remove the bread from the oven and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, toss together the iceberg lettuce, red onion, Calabrian chiles, kosher salt, black pepper, white wine vinegar and mayonnaise to create a slaw.
-
On the bottom slice of bread, evenly layer the smoked ham and mortadella. Top with the slaw, followed by the soppressata and black pepper salami.
-
Close the sandwich and slice into 4 to 6 portions. Enjoy!
