Description
These baked Italian grinders feature layers of turkey ham and beef pepperoni, melted mozzarella and provolone cheeses, and crispy banana peppers, all on herbed butter-dusted Italian sub rolls. The dry heat of the oven ensures a golden, borlotti-resistant crust while the cheeses create a gooey, flavor-rich center. Perfect for quick weeknight meals or gatherings with minimal effort.
Ingredients
1 large Italian sub miche
1/4 cup butter substitute (e.g., olive oil or margarine blended with herbs)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 cup sliced turkey ham
1/2 cup beef pepperoni slices
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shaved provolone cheese
1/2 cup banana peppers, sliced
1/2 cup black olives
6 fresh basil leaves, optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Cut the Italian sub miche in half lengthwise
In a small bowl, mix butter substitute with garlic and onion powder
Evenly spread the herbed butter mix on both bread halves
Layer turkey ham and beef pepperoni slices on the bottom half
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and provolone cheeses over the meats
Top with banana peppers and black olives
Finish with the remaining cheeses and basil leaves (if using)
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until golden and bubbly
Allow to cool slightly before slicing into individual portions
Notes
Use a crusty Italian sub roll for optimal texture contrast
For extra crunch, skip the herbed butter and sprinkle Italian seasoning directly on the bread
Check cheese for pork-free certification when following halal practices
