Note
For a cold variation, skip the baking step and add fresh lettuce, sprouts, tomato slices, onion, or green sweet peppers before serving.
Ensure the meats are thinly sliced to allow for even layering and easier cutting of the final sandwich.
If you prefer a crispier crust, increase the final baking time by 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
