- 1 Ciabatta loaf or 4 Sub/Hoagie Rolls
- 1/2 Pound Thinly Sliced Black Forest Ham
- 1/2 Pound Thinly Sliced Oven Roasted Turkey
- 3-4 Tablespoons Mayo
- 1/4 Pound Thinly Sliced Colby Jack or Smoked Cheddar Cheese
- 2 Cups Shredded Lettuce or Arugula
- 1 Thinly Sliced medium size Tomato
- 1/2 thinly sliced English Cucumber
- 4 slices of Hickory smoked bacon, cooked
Homemade Italian Dressing
- 3/4 Cup Basil or Garlic Infused Olive Oil
- 1/4 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
- 2 Teaspoons of Italian seasonings
- Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Add ingredients to a salad dressing bottle and shake to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 375F
- Cut the ciabatta loaf in half (or you can use 4 hoagie rolls, split and toasted)
- Lightly brush the insides of the ciabatta loaf with the homemade Italian dressing. Toast for 5 mins. Set aside
- While the toasted loaf or rolls are cooling, cut up your toppings & cook bacon according to package instructions.
- Spread a thin layer of Mayo on the bottom half of loaf. Now, layer the turkey, ham, and cheese.
- Place the loaf on sheet pan lined aluminum foil without the top loaf and bake until cheese is melted (12-15 mins) or can place 4 inches from broiler for a few minutes to melt cheese.
- Top the toasted loaf or rolls with arugula or lettuce, tomato slices, cucumber slices and cooked bacon.
- When ready to serve, slice the loaf into sandwiches. Serve warm.
*Note: you can use hoagie rolls, instead of lining the pan with aluminum foil you would wrap each individual sandwich in aluminum foil and bake them for 12-15 mins or until the cheese is melted
