Sandwich Ingredients

  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz salami
  • 4 oz capicola
  • 4 oz provolone cheese
  • 1/4 cup banana peppers, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking the sandwiches evenly and melting the cheese perfectly.
  2. Prepare the rolls: Slice each hoagie roll in half lengthwise, creating a top and bottom half to hold all the sandwich fillings.
  3. Layer the meats and cheeses: On the bottom half of each roll, evenly layer the salami followed by capicola, then place slices of fresh mozzarella and provolone cheese, topping it all off with the sliced banana peppers for a bit of tangy heat.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil: Lightly drizzle about half a tablespoon of olive oil onto each assembled sandwich to help the bread toast nicely and the flavors meld during baking.
  5. Bake the sandwiches: Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly, melted, and has started to turn golden brown.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These pair wonderfully with chips or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the hoagie rolls with Italian bread or baguette if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or dried oregano before baking.
  • If you prefer a spicier sandwich, add sliced jalapeños or use spicy salami varieties.
  • Toasting time might vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the cheese to avoid burning.
  • Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped and refrigerated, then reheated in the oven for best texture.
