Delicious Muffaletta-style grilled cheese sandwiches, bursting with bold flavors and satisfying crunch. Perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp honey dijon mustard
• 2 tsp lemon zest
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, divided
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup drained Italian olive salad
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 8 slices Italian bread
• 8 slices provolone cheese
• 8 slices capicola or deli ham (6 oz.)
• 6 cups chopped Romaine lettuce

Instructions:

1. Combine mustard, lemon peel, salt, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a large bowl; gradually add oil while whisking until the mixture is well combined.
2. Mix together olive blend and the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a small bowl. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Lay the bread slices on a flat surface with the buttered side facing down. Place 2 provolone slices, 2 hot capicola slices, and the olive blend mixture on top of 4 slices of bread. Cover with the remaining 4 bread slices, with the buttered side facing up.
3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place 2 sandwiches in the skillet. Cook until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown, around 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining 2 sandwiches.
4. Mix lettuce with the dressing until it is evenly coated. Serve alongside the sandwiches.
