  2. Layer the cheese first (it protects the bread from the dressing), then the meats in folded ribbons.
  3. Add lettuce, tomato, onion, and pepperoncini.
  4. Dress with oil and vinegar, then oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Press the sandwich closed, wrap tightly, and rest 10 min before cutting on the diagonal. 10 min
