Romaine lettuce leaves

3  plum tomatoes, sliced

8  bacon slices, cooked and cut in half

1. Cut bread diagonally into 12 (1/4-inch-thick) slices; arrange on a baking sheet. Brush slices evenly with Italian dressing, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
   
2. Bake at 375° for 5 to 6 minutes or until lightly toasted.
   
3. Spread untoasted sides of bread slices evenly with mayonnaise and mustard. Layer 4 bread slices, mayonnaise side up, with salami, mortadella, and provolone.

It's even better served with this delicious coleslaw!!
