Notes
Use high-quality ingredients for optimal flavor and texture
Avoid over-buttering to prevent a greasy sandwich
Mix meats like salami and turkey ham for depth
Let cool slightly for balanced flavors
Use a panini press for a crisper finish
Substitute salami with turkey pepperoni or chicken breast for a halal/healthier option
Replace white sub rolls with whole wheat for added fiber
Reduce mayo if desiring a lighter version
