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. I love to grab them from Costco or Sam’s Club.
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 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 includes ham, salami, lettuce, and sliced banana peppers. The banana peppers are the last touch that really makes these mini subs delicious. I love that tang they add to the sandwich!
