Ingredients

For the Sandwich Base:

4 hoagie rolls or sub rolls (soft, sliced lengthwise but not fully cut through)
2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp dried oregano

For the Fillings:

8 slices turkey ham
8 slices beef pepperoni
8 slices turkey salami
8 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
1 medium tomato (thinly sliced)
0.5 small red onion (thinly sliced)
1 small green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
0.25 cup banana peppers or pickled jalapeños (optional, for heat)
0.5 cup shredded lettuce (for topping after baking)

For the Sauce:

3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp Italian dressing
0.5 tsp Dijon mustard
0.5 tsp dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste

For Garnish (Optional):

1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Chopped fresh parsley (for serving)

Instructions

Prepare the Rolls

1
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, keeping one side attached. Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and oregano in a small bowl. Brush the inside of each roll with the butter mixture for a fragrant and crispy base.

Mix the Sauce

2
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Italian dressing, Dijon mustard, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy. Spread this sauce evenly on the inside of each roll.

Layer the Fillings

3
Start layering the meats — first the turkey ham, then salami, and pepperoni. Add tomato, red onion, and bell pepper slices. Top with 2 slices of provolone or mozzarella cheese per sandwich.

Bake the Sandwiches

4
Place the assembled sandwiches open-faced on the prepared baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread edges are golden brown.

Add Fresh Toppings & Serve

5
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. Add shredded lettuce and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish. Serve immediately while warm and cheesy.

Note

Cheese Choice: Use mozzarella for a gooey texture or provolone for a sharp Italian flavor.

Spice Boost: Add crushed red pepper flakes or spicy pickled peppers for extra heat.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C for 8–10 minutes.
