Preparation Instructions
  1. Chop a mix of green and black olives finely, then combine them in a medium bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh herbs. Crush with a fork to achieve a chunky consistency.
  2. Slice crusty rolls or ciabatta in half horizontally. Spread olive tapenade generously on both halves.
  3. Layer salami and ham on one half of the bread, followed by provolone cheese. Cover with the other half and press down gently.
  4. Preheat skillet or panini press over medium heat. Cook sandwich until golden brown and crispy, about 3–5 minutes per side.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool for a minute. Cut into bite-sized pieces and serve warm.
