Smash Sandwich Recipe?

When I was in the navy, I spent a lot of time in the Mediterranean. Ports of call like Italy and France. Somewhere along those ports of call there were late night street vendors selling what was called a "Smash Sandwich". I'd love to know what was in them or if anyone has a recipe. Short of going back to Europe, I haven't found anywhere that has a recipe. Can anyone help me?Smash Sandwich Recipe?
