# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 190°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Slice each hoagie roll lengthwise, taking care not to cut through completely, so they open like a book.
03 -
Layer ham, salami, and roast beef evenly into each roll. Add pepperoni if using.
04 -
Top each with 2 slices of provolone or mozzarella, and add banana peppers and sautéed onions as desired.
05 -
Place assembled sandwiches on the prepared baking sheet.
06 -
Brush hoagie roll tops with melted butter and sprinkle generously with Italian seasoning.
07 -
Cover sandwiches loosely with foil and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and fillings are warmed through.
08 -
Remove foil and bake for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the tops to become golden and slightly crisp.
09 -
Serve hot, accompanied by chips, olives, or a fresh salad.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Use sturdy hoagie rolls to prevent sogginess during baking.
02 -
To create a vegetarian version, substitute meats with grilled vegetables and double the cheese.
03 -
Sandwiches can be prepped ahead and refrigerated wrapped in foil until ready to bake.
04 -
For freezing, assemble and wrap sandwiches tightly, freeze unbaked, and add 5–10 minutes to the baking time when heating from frozen.
