Tips & Tricks (5)

Bread Toasting Technique 🥖
Lightly toast the French roll's interior with a thin layer of butter to create a moisture barrier and prevent sogginess from dressings and meats.
Layering Strategy 🥪
Create a strategic layering order: spread mayo/mustard first, then lettuce as a protective layer to prevent bread from getting soggy, followed by meats and cheese.
Pickle and Pepper Prep 🥒
Pat dill pickles and green peppers dry with paper towels before adding to prevent excess moisture from making the sandwich wet and losing structural integrity.
Dressing Hack 🥗
Mix Italian salad dressing with a touch of mayonnaise to create a custom spread that adds richness and prevents the sandwich from becoming too oily.
Meat Selection Pro Tip 🍖
For maximum flavor complexity, slightly overlap and alternate thin slices of ham, beef, and turkey to create a rich, multi-dimensional meat profile.
