Serving Tip: Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, a fresh green salad, or crispy potato chips.
Storage Tip: Store leftovers wrapped tightly in foil and reheat in a toaster oven for best results—microwaving may make the bread soggy.
Variations:
Spicy Sub: Add sliced jalapeños or use spicy capicola for an extra kick.
Veggie Version: Replace the meats with grilled vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
Italian Hero: Add a few slices of mortadella or prosciutto for a true Italian deli feel.
FAQ:
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: You can assemble the sandwiches up to a few hours in advance. Just wrap them tightly and refrigerate. Brush with the sauce and bake when ready.
Q: What other cheeses work well?
A: Mozzarella, provolone, fontina, or even a sharp Italian blend will melt beautifully and add great flavor.
Q: Can I use store-bought rolls?
A: Absolutely! Fresh bakery sub rolls work best, but any sturdy sandwich roll will hold up well under the toppings and baking.
