Grilled Pressed Sandwich
1 large, round soft crusted loaf of bread
4 tablespoons sweet butter, softened
2 tablespoons Picholine olives, pitted and chopped
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon lemon zest

Gray salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat a stovetop grill or griddle. Cut the bread in half lengthwise. Hollow out the insides. Set aside

Spread and even layer of compound butter on each cut surface of bread. Reassemble the pieces.

Brush outside of bread with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
