  5. Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
  6. Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil for 2–3 minutes, keeping a close eye on them.
  7. Remove the sandwiches from the oven and add fresh tomato slices on top, sprinkling them with salt and pepper.
  8. Top it off with the prepared grinder salad, ensuring an even distribution of the crunchy veggies.
  9. If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top before closing the sandwich. Cut each sandwich in half for easy serving.
