Subway Recipe

Prepare rolls

Preheat oven or toaster oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice each sub roll lengthwise, leaving a hinge if you prefer or slicing fully open. Brush the inside lightly with olive oil or spread butter (about 1 tbs total across rolls). Sprinkle sesame seeds inside tops if using. Place rolls cut-side up on a baking sheet and toast in oven 4–6 minutes until just golden and slightly crisp. Remove and set aside.

Warm deli meats (optional)

If you prefer warm meats, stack the turkey and ham on a microwave-safe plate and heat 20–30 seconds until just warm, or place on the toasted rolls and warm in the oven for 1–2 minutes so the cheese begins to melt. If serving cold, use meats directly from the package (ensure they are within use-by date).

Place two slices of cheese on each bottom half of the toasted roll, then arrange the turkey and ham evenly across the two sandwiches (about 100 g turkey and 50 g ham per sandwich).

Layer vegetables over the meat: divide shredded lettuce between sandwiches, then add sliced tomato, cucumber, red onion, green pepper, and pickles. Distribute banana peppers or jalapeños if using. Aim for even coverage so each bite has a mix of textures.

If using optional toppings, add sliced olives and avocado now.

Mix mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl. Spread about 1 tbs mayo mixture across each top half of the roll. Drizzle oil and vinegar evenly over the assembled fillings (about 1/2 tbs per sandwich).

Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and dried oregano evenly across the sandwiches to taste (use the indicated measurements as a guideline).

Close each sandwich, press gently, and cut in half on a diagonal if desired. Serve immediately with chips, a pickle spear, or a side salad. Leftovers: wrap tightly and refrigerate up to 24 hours; for best texture, store components separately and assemble before serving.
