Mousetrap + Bluegrass Baking Co Pimento Italian Sandwich

In case you haven't seen, Mousetrap and Bluegrass Baking Co are currently collabing on a Grab + Go Sandwich Challenge and there's never been a food competition I haven't entered so here we are! I've actually decided to make two sandwiches, so this is only the first. I wanted to do one meat based sandwich and one vegetarian sandwich, so check back tomorrow to see the second! My meat based sandwich not only contains meat, but is honestly a meat-lover's meal. This is my take on a Pimento Italian Sandwich!

INGREDIENTS:

One baguette from Bluegrass Baking Co

• One container of Mousetrap's Pimento Cheese

• A package of your preferred ham

• A package of your preferred salami

• A package of you preferred pepperoni

• Lettuce

• A tomato

• Your favorite Italian dressing

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

1. Cut your preferred amount of bread off of your baguette. I personally cut ~1/3 of the baguette off for mine. Then cut in half for the two sides of your sandwich.

2. Layer your pepperoni, salami, and ham onto one side of your sandwich. I used 3 slices of each, but of course if you're really feeling it then load that ish on there.

3. On top of the meat, spread your pimento cheese. I used about 1/2 a cup I think, but this most definitely is not a precise matter.

4. Set both halves of the bread face up on a baking sheet and put in your oven until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

5. While that is cooking, pull a few pieces of lettuce off and slice your tomato.

6. Once melted, take the sandwich out of the oven and layer your tomato and lettuce on top of the cheese. Pour Italian dressing on the bare side of the baguette so it can easily soak into the bread. I used about 3 tablespoons but again, this is complete preference.

7. Combine your two sides and enjoy your masterpiece of a sandwich!
