Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the 2 dark bread rolls in half horizontally. If you like, toast the cut sides in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Spread 1 tbsp mayonnaise on the bottom half of each roll. Season with a pinch of the salt and black pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Layer 2 lettuce leaves on each bottom half, folding to fit. Slice the 1 tomato into thin rounds and arrange over the lettuce.

  4. Step 4

    If using meat, place 2 oz of cooked meat on each sandwich, folding to fit. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheese over the meat on each.

  5. Step 5

    Close the sandwiches with the top halves. Press gently and serve immediately, or wrap in foil and toast in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts.

  6. Step 6

    Cut each sandwich in half if desired and serve warm or at room temperature.
