Ingredients

Scale

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
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the sandwiches evenly.
  2. Slice the Hoagie Rolls: Cut each hoagie roll in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom for layering ingredients.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: On the bottom half of each hoagie roll, layer the salami first, then capicola, followed by fresh mozzarella slices, provolone slices, and top with sliced banana peppers.
  4. Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle the inside of each assembled sandwich with olive oil to add flavor and aid in browning during baking.
  5. Bake the Sandwiches: Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheeses become bubbly and slightly golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the sandwiches to cool for a few minutes before serving. They pair wonderfully with chips or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Use fresh mozzarella for the best melting and creamy texture.
  • Banana peppers add a tangy kick, but you can substitute with pepperoncini or omit if preferred.
  • To enhance crispness, toast the hoagie rolls lightly before assembling.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best results.
