Ingredients
2 Hoagie Rolls, or any similar length of breads, 12 inches each
10 rashers bacon, roughly 10 oz total
5 slices turkey ham, or your favorite sandwich ham slices, preferably halved thick slices
3 leaves romaine lettuce, 1 (8 oz) romaine lettuce head, sliced
8 slices local tomatoes, 2 (4 oz) tomatoes, thickly sliced
5 slices provolone cheese, can use fontina, or scamorza cheeses, thinly sliced
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp dried oregano, to taste
5 tbsp mayonnaise
Salt & ground black pepper , to taste
Preparation
Arrange the slices of bacon on a roasting tray, then roast them at 360 degrees F until crispy. You can also fry your bacon using a dry skillet until crispy.
Save at least 1 tbsp of the bacon oil then discard any excess.
Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise.
Prepare a simple vinaigrette by combining the excess bacon oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, and mayonnaise. Whisk until emulsified.
Season the vinaigrette with salt and ground pepper to taste. Adjust accordingly.
Start layering your sandwich by spreading about 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette on each side of the hoagie roll.
Next, layer with provolone slices, bacon, ham, lettuce, and tomatoes.
Cover the layers with the other half of the bread, then cut into three to four pieces, depending on bread length.
Serve or present using cocktail picks to hold the portioned sandwiches in place, and enjoy!
