Italian-Style Cold Cuts Sandwich

Italian-Style Cold Cuts Sandwich

Comments: For this sandwich, it is possible to use white, brown, cornbread or mutigrains bread slices, or small tomato kaiser rolls.
These sandwiches taste even better when refrigerated overnight.
Refrigerated, the filling will keep for 6 to 7 days into a covered bowl.
As it protects the bread, brush the inside of a baguette or other bread with olive oil to prevent bread from becoming too soggy.
