Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Components
- 4 sub rolls (6 inches each)
- 8 oz provolone cheese, sliced
- 4 oz salami, sliced
- 4 oz pepperoni, sliced
- 4 oz ham, sliced
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1 large tomato, sliced
For Baking
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Nonstick cooking spray (for baking dish)
- Optional: dried oregano for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Sub Rolls: Slice each sub roll lengthwise without cutting all the way through, creating a hinge to open the sandwich like a book, then place them laid open in the baking dish.
- Layer Meats and Cheese: Inside each roll, layer salami, pepperoni, and ham evenly, then top with slices of provolone cheese to cover the meats.
- Add Fresh Vegetables: Top each sandwich with shredded romaine lettuce and tomato slices; optionally sprinkle oregano over the top for added Italian flavor.
- Drizzle Olive Oil: Drizzle about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over each sandwich to help crisp the bread and enhance flavor during baking.
- Bake the Sandwiches: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has fully melted and the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- You can add dried oregano or Italian seasoning before baking for extra flavor.
- To make it spicier, substitute regular salami with spicy or add sliced jalapeños.
- For a softer sandwich, omit the olive oil drizzle.
- Use fresh sub rolls for the best texture after baking.
- Leftovers can be stored wrapped in foil and reheated in the oven for maintaining crispness.
