    Things To Grab

    • 2 large rimmed baking pans
    • Parchment paper
    • Whisk
    • Small bowl
    • Small food-safe decorating brush
    • Knife

    Directions

    1. Place oven racks in upper third and center of oven. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 large rimmed baking pans with parchment paper; set aside. Toss together onion and salad dressing to coat; set aside.

    2. Whisk together egg white, and red, green and blue food colorings in a small bowl to form a black egg wash. Add additional drops of red and green food coloring, if necessary. Set aside.

    3. Place roll bottoms, cut sides up, in 1 prepared baking pan; set aside. Paint basketball lines on rounded sides of roll tops using the black egg wash and a small food-safe decorating brush. Place roll tops, rounded sides up, in the remaining prepared baking pan.

    4. To assemble sandwiches, spread aioli on cut sides of roll bottoms. Top each with ham, pepperoni, Gouda and provolone cheeses, roasted peppers and onion mixture, folding and layering meats and cheeses as needed to create a stack.

    5. Bake sandwich stacks on upper oven rack and roll tops on center rack for 10 to 12 minutes or until cheeses are melted and egg wash is set.

    6. Remove baking pans from oven; slightly cool sandwich stacks and roll tops. Spread pesto on cut sides of roll tops; place on sandwich stacks to enclose sandwiches. Serve immediately.
