Layer one side of each roll with red pepper, pickled peppers, onion, olives, tomato, salami, ham and finally the cheese.
4
Replace roll tops, close up tightly and press together well to help seal.

Heat a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly brush the outside of each roll with olive oil.
6
Place 2 sandwiches at a time in the hot pan.

Press the sandwiches with a wide spatula several times, turning once or twice, until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted.

Cut into halves and eat right away.
