Ingredients

Scale

Sandwiches

  • 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
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Rolls: Slice each sub roll lengthwise carefully without cutting all the way through, then open them up and place them into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Layer Meats and Cheese: Evenly layer slices of salami, pepperoni, and ham inside each roll. Follow with a layer of provolone cheese to cover the meats.
  4. Add Fresh Toppings: Top the layered sandwiches with shredded romaine lettuce and tomato slices. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of oregano for extra Italian flavor.
  5. Drizzle Olive Oil: Drizzle olive oil over the tops of each sandwich to encourage a crispy, golden finish during baking.
  6. Bake Sandwiches: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the bread is toasted golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Do not cut the rolls all the way through to help hold the fillings better.
  • You can add oregano or Italian seasoning for enhanced flavor.
  • Serve immediately after baking for best texture and taste.
  • To avoid sogginess, add lettuce fresh after baking if preferred.
  • Substitute the meats or cheese according to your preference for different flavor combinations.
