Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 4 oz salami, sliced
- 4 oz capicola, sliced
- 4 oz provolone cheese, sliced
- 1/4 cup banana peppers, sliced
Other
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to melt the cheese and crisp the bread perfectly.
- Prepare Rolls: Slice each hoagie roll in half lengthwise, creating a top and bottom for stuffing.
- Layer Ingredients: On the bottom half of each roll, layer slices of salami first, followed by capicola, then fresh mozzarella, provolone cheese, and finally the sliced banana peppers for a tangy kick.
- Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle about half a tablespoon of olive oil over each assembled sandwich to help with browning and flavor during baking.
- Bake Sandwiches: Place the prepared sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starts to turn golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the sandwiches cool slightly before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly. Enjoy alongside chips or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can toast the hoagie rolls lightly before layering the fillings.
- Feel free to add other Italian sandwich toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or red onion after baking if desired.
- Using high-quality deli meats and fresh mozzarella will greatly enhance the flavor.
- Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped and refrigerated, then reheated in the oven or air fryer for best results.
