🥖 Classic Submarine Sandwich

Ingredients (per sandwich)

• 1 sub roll (6–12 inches)

• 3–4 slices deli meat (turkey, ham, roast beef, salami, or a mix)

• 1–2 slices cheese (Swiss, provolone, cheddar, or American)

• Lettuce leaves

• Tomato slices

• Onion slices (optional)

• Pickles or banana peppers (optional)

• Condiments: mayonnaise, mustard, or oil & vinegar

• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the bread

   • Slice sub roll horizontally but leave a hinge so it opens like a book.

   • Optionally toast lightly for extra crunch.

2. Add condiments

   • Spread mayonnaise, mustard, or oil & vinegar on the inside.

3. Layer ingredients

   • Start with cheese on the bottom (helps prevent sogginess).

   • Add deli meat, then lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.

4. Season

   • Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.

5. Close and serve

   • Press gently, cut in half if needed, and enjoy immediately.

Tips

• Customize: Add roasted peppers, cucumbers, or avocado for extra flavor.

• Make ahead: Wrap tightly in parchment and refrigerate; add lettuce and tomato last to keep it fresh.

• For crowd-pleasing: Make a giant sub on a full baguette and slice for sharing.

I can also give a hot, toasted sub version like a Philly or Italian grinder if you want.
