"On weekends when I was growing up, my father would become Mr. Sandwich, whipping up all sorts of (mostly) delicious concoctions. This is one of his triumphs — a perfectly balanced handful of zesty salami, sweet basil, and melty cheese. Make sure to allow the salami to really crisp up in the pan; that is where all the flavor and texture come from." — Michael Symon

Directions

1. Step 1Put a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan, add the salami slices and cook until crisp, about 1 minute per side. As the slices are done, remove them to a plate.
2. Step 2When all the salami is out of the pan, add the bell and jalapeño peppers along with a good pinch of salt and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Remove the peppers to a plate.
3. Step 3Reduce the heat under the pan to medium-low. Divide the salami into 4 equal piles, placing all of the piles in the pan. Top each pile with one-fourth of the bell and jalapeño peppers covered by 1 slice of cheese. Add 2 tablespoons water to the pan, cover with a lid, and allow the cheese to melt for 30 seconds.
4. Step 4Remove the lid and sprinkle each pile with one-fourth of the basil. Pile into the rolls and serve.
