College days are the days to remember.

One of those little splurges was a tasty sandwich called the Marv n Joe.

This open-faced sandwich is widely known throughout my tiny college town.

Both professors said it was one of the highlights of their careers.

Ive made it several different ways, and this recipe is the best way to ensure everything stays intact.

For example, confirm you drizzle olive oil and vinegar onto the tomato.

If you do this before adding the tomato, itll slide right off the bread.

Drizzling it on top of the tomato lets it soak in!

Place the bread on a baking sheet.

Spread the garlic butter on each half or slice.

If you dont have garlic butter, spread with butter and sprinkle with garlic salt.

Add a slice of tomato to each piece, then drizzle each tomato with the vinegar and olive oil.

Place the provolone on top of each tomato slice, then sprinkle Parmesan over top.

Simple Tip!

I make a batch of garlic butter and keep it in my fridge in a mason jar.

Mix 1/2 cup of softened butter with 1 teaspoon garlic salt and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.
