Number Of Ingredients 2

1 loaf sourdough
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Heat a cast iron grill pan over high heat until smoking hot, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cut the sourdough bread into thick rustic slices and drizzle both sides with plenty of olive oil. Put on the grill and pressing down gently so they pick up nice even grill marks. Grill until crispy and toasted, about 45 seconds per side.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 slice sourdough bread or french roll
butter or margarine
parmesan cheese
fat free italian dressing
mayonnaise
3 slice black forest ham
OPTIONAL -
lettuce, tomato, onion, bell pepper, banana peppers from a jar, pepper jack cheese

Steps:

1. Turn on broiler (can also be done in a non-stick frying pan, no need to use spray oil).
2. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle parmesan on and spread around to cover butter completely. If using french roll, apply to inside.
3. Place in broiler or upside down in pan (on medium high). Brown cheese so it becomes as evenly brown and toasted as possible, but not black. Take care to watch it closely, once it starts to toast it can burn quickly. Remove to plate with non toasted side up for 10-15 seconds so it won't get steamed and soggy.
4. Turn over and lightly drizzle italian dressing over toasted side. Dip tip of knife in mayonnaise (about 1/4-1/2 tsp) and spread into dressing. It will mix as you continue to spread. Add additional mayonnaise if needed to be able to cover surface.
5. Lay 3 slices black forest ham on one side. Add optional items if desired.
6. Cover with other side, so that untoasted sides are out, and cut diagonally.
7. Hint - If using cheese, add to one side before drizzling dressing. Microwave for 20 seconds. Put dressing and mayonnaise on other slice only. Can also mix 1/4 cup italian dressing and 1/4 cup mayonnaise to use instead of mixing on the bread...if any is left, it won't go to waste...can be used to make another sandwich, or on a salad.
