What is a hoagie? A hoagie is a bread roll sandwich piled high with deli meats, cheese, fixings and dressing, and is usually at least six inches long. The term ‘hoagie‘ is most commonly used in Philadelphia and South Jersey, and has several possible origin stories. Technically, it is an Italian sub loaded with meats, veggies and cheese.
Thinly sliced ham, salami and Deli American combined with deli dressing, lettuce, tomato and onion create a classic deli sandwich. Feel free to get creative with the meats you choose. Just remember to get a mix of cured and cooked for an array of flavors and textures.
Choosing the right bread for your hoagie is pretty simple. You need a roll that isn’t too soft. It needs to hold up to a lot of meat, cheese, veggies, and other toppings. In that vein, it also needs to be wide enough to contain everything. Some people prefer a crustier outside of the roll, while others prefer something more chewy. Some even like sesame seeds.
I mentioned earlier how customizable this recipe is. You can get creative and use other sandwich toppings. Here are some ideas:
- Cucumber
- Banana Peppers
- Hot Peppers
- Spinach
- Jalapenos
- Bacon Slices
- Oil & Vinegar
- Provolone Cheese
- Pepper Jack Cheese
- Gouda Cheese
- Sharp Cheddar Cheese
