Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large hoagie roll (or sub roll), sliced open
- 3 slices deli ham
- 3 slices Genoa salami
- 3 slices pepperoni
- 2–3 slices provolone cheese
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for tang)
- 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
- 2–3 tomato slices
- 1 tablespoon sliced banana peppers
- 1 tablespoon sliced red onions
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or melted butter (for brushing the roll)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Prepare the bread: Lay the hoagie roll open on the sheet and brush the inside lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
- Spread sauces: Evenly spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on both sides of the roll.
- Layer meats: Add ham, salami, and pepperoni, folding each slice slightly for extra volume.
- Add cheese: Top the meats with slices of provolone cheese.
- Bake the sandwich: Close the sub and bake for 8–10 minutes until the cheese melts and the roll is golden brown. Optional: broil for 1–2 minutes for extra crispness.
- Add toppings: After baking, carefully open the sandwich and layer on lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, and onions.
- Season and serve: Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, slice in half, and enjoy warm.
Notes
- Make it spicy: Add jalapeños, red pepper flakes, or spicy giardiniera.
- Vegetarian twist: Swap meats for roasted vegetables and use plant-based cheese.
- Meal prep tip: Assemble the sandwich without fresh toppings, wrap in foil, and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
- Gluten-free option: Use a gluten-free sub roll and check all condiments for gluten content.
