There is something that is so fun about a mini sandwich like these Mini Italian Sub Sandwiches. A mini sandwich is just so cute. I guess it’s the same as a baby, kitty, or puppy. They are all mini versions and they draw us in with their cuteness.
Well, not only are these mini Italian sub sandwiches cute, but they taste amazing! Pick any kind of roll or slider roll you like. I happen to use King’s Hawaiian Rolls. They are the right size. They are also super soft with a little sweetness to them.
Now if you are using something like a package of King’s Hawaiian rolls, where the rolls are all connected. You can slice the whole thing in half, and make one big sandwich to begin with. Then you can slice them into the individual rolls to make the mini subs. I like the look of the sandwiches when you make them each individually, but it works either way.
These subs include a flavorful spread that all begins with some mayo. Then you add in a couple of extra ingredients to up the flavor. The sandwich filling itself includes ham, salami, lettuce and sliced banana peppers. The banana peppers are the last touch that really make these mini subs delicious.
