Chef notes
This finger sandwich is the perfect starter for the holidays. The meat, bread and veggies all locally sourced from Utah, bring savory flavors to this classic Creminelli recipe. Italian-American locals take great pride in shopping at Salt Lake City’s own Caputo’s Market & Deli, purveyors of regional Italian and southern European foods, to pick up their favorite Creminelli meats for the season.
Technique tip: Be generous with the meat.
Swap option: Add your favorite condiments to make the Creminelli Club your own. Pepper spread, ground mustard or spicy mayo can be great additions to tailor the savory sandwich to your taste.
