YUM- Vegetarian Italian Hoagie

Bold statement: This is my FAVORITE sandwich. 

I don't think it could get more delicious if it tried. 

I haven't tried, because there is no point. It's there.

Vegetarian Italian Hoagie

What you need for 4 sandwiches:

4 hoagie rolls. I like the ones that Fresh Market carries in their bakery, and the Sarah Lee ones are so friggin soft I want to make a pillow out of them.

4 slices pepper jack cheese, torn in half

1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, separated into rings

1 14-oz jar artichoke hearts, rinsed and coarsely chopped

2 cups shredded romaine lettuce

1/4 cup sliced pepperoncini

1 medium tomato, seeded and diced

2 tbsp red wine vinegar

2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 tsp dried oregano

Dash of salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine artichoke, tomato, vinegar, oil, oregano and salt & pepper in a bowl.

If necessary, split your hoagie rolls  horizontally and pull out some of the soft bread from each side.

To assemble sandwiches, lay 2 halves of cheese on 1 side. 

Spread on the artichoke mixture and top with the onion, lettuce and pepperoncini's.

Press sandwiches together, and place on a foil lined baking sheet.

Place in oven until bread is browned and cheese is melted, about 8-10 minutes.
