Hubby’s Hoagie
My lovely hubby used to like going to Subway – the sandwich restaurant, not the means of transport – to grab a “Turkey, Ham & Bacon Melt”.
Unfortunately, in our parts, Harry’s favourite sub was taken from the menu a few years back and he has refused to set foot into those restaurants ever since.
Instead, he tried to reproduce this sandwich and I do think he has come up with an excellent solution. 🙂
Of course, Harry would not want to violate any copyrights or naming rights that Subway may still hold. Therefore, he named his creation “Hubby’s Hoagie”. 🙂
Frankly, we’re not sure as to whether it really qualifies as a “hoagie” – a term that my lovely hubby took from his favourite sitcom from the 80s.
But I think it sounds nice and what’s in a name after all…?! 😀
What we need:
- A “Zwiebelstange” (literally translated: onion stick) fresh from our local bakery chain (or any other suitable long white bread of your choice)
- 4 pieces of sliced turkey breast
- 4 pieces of sliced roast pork
- 4 bacon strips
- Grated cheddar
- A handful of iceberg lettuce
- 1 red onion
- Sliced pickles
- Honey-mustard dressing
- Pepper
How to do it:
- Cut the onion into slices.
- Cut the bread in half and slice both halves open.
- Top each bread half with 2 slices of turkey breast.
- Have them each alternate with slices of pork roast.
- Put two bacon strips on top of each half.
- Generously sprinkle with cheddar.
- Put them into the preheated oven for one minute at maximum heat to have the cheese melted slightly.
- Sprinkle with salad and onions, then distribute some sliced pickles on top.
- Pour the dressing and season with pepper.
- Fold the sandwich halves up.
