Ingredients

• 2 boxes hot roll mix
• Assorted cheeses, sliced
• Assorted luncheon or deli meats, sliced
• Tomatoes, round slices
• Lettuce for sandwich and garnish
• Black olives, sliced
• Condiments of your choice

Directions

• Spray inside of grad cap pan with vegetable pan spray.
• Prepare hot roll mix according to package directions. Place mix in pan and bake at 350F for 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool; unmold.
• Slice loaf horizontally in half and add sandwich fillings.
• To make tassel, slice cheese into thin strips, leaving 1/4 in. at top uncut. Roll into tassel.
• Cut another thin strip of cheese for cord. Attach black olive button with toothpick.
• Arrange a bed of lettuce leaves on a large platter and place the sandwich on the platter for a nice presentation. Cut the sandwich into smaller pieces to serve guests.
• Wilton suggests that this sandwich serves 1, however the pan is approximately 14 3/4 x 11 3/4 x 2 inches deep, which should serve 4 to 6 guests when you factor in the additional food on a buffet.
