1 tsp
Garlic powder
1 tsp

2 cups
Halved black olives pitted
1/2 cup
Chopped artichoke hearts

Instructions

To make a sandwich, start by spreading around a 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the side of two slices of bread. Sprinkle it with garlic powder and oregano.

With the buttered side down on the baking sheet, top with sliced ham, chopped artichokes, pepperoni, halved olives, pepperoncini, and mozzarella. 

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and place the sandwich in the skillet buttered side down. You can make as many as you would like at once, but we recommend starting with two sandwiches.

Cook until the bottom is slightly golden and the cheese is beginning to melt around 4 to 5 minutes.

Flip each sandwich carefully to repeat cooking on the other side until golden brown. Enjoy with soup or on its own!
