A few weeks ago I attended the last in my series of Hollywood Bowl shows for the summer. I've been wanting to attend the Sound of Music Singalong ever since I first heard about it a few years ago, so I was thrilled to know that no obstacles were in my way this year. Of course, right when the summer ended is when the weather decided to behave like summer and I wanted to make something easy and quick for another great potluck picnic. This recipe did require turning on the oven when it was 85 degrees out at 10AM, but it's only for a short time and well worth it. Bon Appetit calls this an end of the week sandwich because it's made of things that I guess typical families still have in their kitchens at the end of the week. I didn't have most of the ingredients, but I didn't mind purchasing them to make the recipe. By the way, if you ever find yourself in Los Angeles at the end of September, make it a point to try and get tickets to this singalong. It's an epic experience that you do not want to miss!
End of the Week Deli Sandwich
(From Bon Appetit, August 2010)
Makes 6+ servings
1 pound pain rustique (can also use ciabatta or focaccia)
1/2 cup pesto
1/4 cup mayonnaise
8 thin cheese slices (I used provolone, can also use Jack, Swiss or Havarti)
9 ounces assorted deli meats (I used mortadella, genova salami, coppa, prosciutto, capocollo and calabrese salame)
2/3 cup sliced drained peperoncini
Thinly sliced red onion (about 1/2 of an onion)
1-2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
Arugula or other lettuce
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a small bowl, mix together the pesto and mayonnaise and spread over both halves of the bread. Top the pesto with the cheese. Bake the bread halves until lightly toasted and the cheese has melted, about 8-10 minutes.
Top the cheese with the meats, then peperoncini, onion, tomatoes, and arugula. Cover sandwich with the top half of the bread. Cut in half, lengthwise and then crosswise into individual sandwiches.

Glad you enjoyed the show! The sandwich- yum! The bread looks like it was the total scene stealer. But I bet the pesto on it was pretty jammin as well. Hope your week is going nicely
The singalong show sounds like great fun! And the sandwich is perfect! Love all that cheese and deli meat on it.
esi esi esi! we need a close up of this fabulous sandwich. oh yes.
I so what to take a massive bite out of this!
Being a musical-obsessed FREAK I'm sure the singalong must have been super fun.
This sandwich is such a mouthful. In such a good way.
I sooooo wanted to go to the sing-a-long!!!! Lucky you. :) And a delicious sandwich to go along with it.
I'm definitely letting you drag me along to the sing-along next year. The hills will be alive with Diana's singing... ;)

1) I LOVE The Sound of Music, so I'm definitely doing this next time I visit my family in September.
2) My husband will LOVE me for making him this sandwich.

Well I could definitely eat a sandwich like that any day of the week! Delicious
I love the singalong at the Bowl! So glad you got to experience it with this awesome sandwich!
I want to make that sandwich. Have a great week-end!
Some people must have much better stocked pantries than I do. I can't imagine having all that left at the end of the week! It looks completely delicious though.
wow, I didn't know the Sound of Music Singalong was a real thing - I thought it was something they made up for Kurt to say on Glee two weeks ago... Sandwich looks yummy! I am also partial to the "whatever's in the fridge" sandwich, and have been known to make them with meat, pickles, sprouts, apple slices or whatever. :)
