Italian BMT {homemade}

My husband’s favorite Subway Sandwich is the Italian BMT, but we just don’t go out very often anymore.  So when I saw this recipe for an at home version of the Italian BMT, I was psyched!

Then I realized that none of the delis at my local grocery store carried that Italian meats I needed for said sandwich.  So sad!   Luckily, I was perusing the gourmet cheeses while pouting about the lack of meats in the deli and found an appetizer tray full of Italian meats.  Not as good as freshly sliced meats, but tasty nonetheless.

This sandwich has become a picnic staple at my house!  We’re even going to take some to the park for our 4^th of July picnic!

Recipe Notes:

*Lightly press the tomato slices between 2 paper towels to remove excess liquid.
