Warm Italian hoagie with melted cheese
A classic pressed sandwich built on a ready-made hoagie roll, warmed until the crust crisps and the filling melds. The shelf's Italian sub does half the work, and you simply need cheese and butter to turn it into a hot dinner for two.

To buy
- 4 ounces sliced provolone cheese
From your shelf
- 1 roll Italian hoagie, Boar's Head
Staples
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Heat the oven to 375°F [190°C].
- Slice the hoagie roll in half lengthwise and lay both halves on a baking sheet. Spread one-half teaspoon butter on each cut face.
- Divide 4 ounces sliced provolone cheese between the two halves, layering it over the buttered surfaces.
- Slide into the oven and bake until the cheese melts and the crust is golden, about 5 to 7 minutes, watching after 4 minutes so it does not scorch.
- Pull from the oven, press the halves together, and let rest for one minute before halving crosswise. Serve warm on a plate.
Note Swap provolone for fresh mozzarella if you have it, though it will melt faster. Halve any leftover sandwich and reheat in a dry skillet over medium heat for one minute per side. Serve with a green salad or tomato soup on the side to stretch the meal.
