📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prep the Bread - In a small bowl, mix olive oil and garlic. Slice the loaf in half lengthwise, then into 4 pieces total (you can cut into 8 pieces for 4 smaller sandwiches to better fit in a skillet). Brush the cut sides of the bread with the garlic oil.

Toast the Bread: Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Toast the bread cut-side-down until golden and crisp, about ⏱️ 1-2 minutes. Flip the bread over and toast another minute to crisp up the top if desired.
3
Assemble: On the bottom half, layer mozzarella, salami, and prosciutto. Add tomatoes, season lightly with salt and pepper, and drizzle lightly with red wine vinegar (just enough to brighten the tomatoes). Top with basil.

Assemble and Serve: Spread pesto on the top halves (about 2 Tbsp per sandwich). Close the sandwiches, rest ⏱️ 1-2 minutes, then slice and serve.
