Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 2 (7- to 8-inch) hoagie rolls

  • 6 thin slices deli ham

  • 6 thin slices Genoa salami

  • 6 thin slices capicola ham (optional)

  • 2 slices provolone cheese, halved

  • 1/3 cup sliced banana peppers, or to taste

  • tomato slices, to taste (optional)

  • shredded lettuce, to taste (optional)

  • thinly sliced red onion, to taste (optional)

  • drizzle of olive oil

  • drizzle of red wine vinegar

  • 1 pinch oregano

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Slice rolls in half lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through. Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet, open side up.

  3. Evenly layer rolls with ham, salami, and capicola, folding to fit. Place the halved provolone and banana peppers on top of the meat.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven just until cheese starts to melt, 5 to 8 minutes. 

  5. Remove sandwiches from the oven, dress with tomatoes, lettuce, and red onion as desired. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar; sprinkle with oregano and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

    Cook’s Note

    Keep your eye on the hoagies. When the cheese has melted, remove from the oven, so the roll doesn’t get too crusty and hard. If your deli carries capicola, I'd recommend you give it a try. It adds great flavor to this sandwich and is traditional on an Italian hoagie.
