The Ultimate Pool Sandwich

The Ultimate Pool Sandwich

Take a dip into this glorious stuffed sandwich this summer!

Ingredients

• 1 round bread loaf
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
• 1/2 pound sliced deli ham
• 1/2 pound sliced deli turkey
• 6 slices Swiss cheese
• 6 slices Cheddar or Colby Jack cheese

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Cut a wide circle out of the bread loaf top like you’re making a soup bread bowl. Carefully remove and set aside the loaf top.
3. Hollow out the bread interior, being careful not to break through the sides. The loaf interior can be used to make croutons, so there’s no waste.
4. Melt butter with mustard in the microwave for 15 seconds in a small bowl. Mix well.
5. Brush butter mixture onto the exterior of the bread loaf and top; place loaf and top on a baking sheet.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Let cool.
7. Pat lettuce dry and place a layer in the bottom of the hollowed-out loaf. Layer cheese over lettuce. Add a layer of ham and turkey. Repeat until the loaf is full. Top with reserved bread top.
8. Wrap sandwich in plastic wrap and put on a baking sheet. Place another baking sheet on top with something to weigh it down.
9. Place the completed sandwich on the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
10. Keep the sandwich whole or cut it into easy triangular sections.
