--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   8      slices        crusty Italian bread
     1/2  cup           Mixed Olive Mayonnaise
   1      tablespoon    Dijon mustard
     1/2  cup           Italian Sandwich Spread
  24      thin          summer sausage or salami slices
   8      ounces        fresh mozzarella cheese -- cubed
                        or
   4      ounces        processed mozzarella -- sliced
   1                    Roasted Bell Pepper -- cut into 16 slices
   4      ounces        provolone or feta cheese
                        thinly sliced or crumbled
     1/4  cup           extra virgin olive oil

Spread mayonnaise inside tops and bottoms of the bread and spread mustard on
the inside tops only. Cover bottoms with sandwich spread. Layer the salami,
mozzarella, the pepper slices, and provolone in that order over the spread.
Put the sandwiches together, brush the outside tops and bottoms with olive
oil, and grill until the crusts are golden brown and the cheeses have melted.
Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board, let them set up for 2 minutes,
cut, and serve.
