Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the sandwiches.
- Prepare Rolls: Place the hoagie rolls on a baking sheet, cut side facing up. Optionally, toast the rolls in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes before adding fillings for extra crispness.

- Bake Sandwiches: Place the assembled sandwiches in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the meats are warmed through.
- Prepare Seasoned Oil: While baking, mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
- Add Fresh Toppings: Remove sandwiches from the oven and top with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and banana pepper rings.
- Drizzle Dressing and Serve: Drizzle the seasoned oil dressing over the fresh toppings, place the top halves of the rolls on each sandwich, and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crisp bread, toast the rolls for 3 to 4 minutes before adding the fillings.
