Baking the subs open-faced melts the cheese and crisps the bread without steaming the lettuce. The cold toppings go on after.
The quick Italian dressing
Three tablespoons of olive oil, a tablespoon of red wine vinegar, oregano and a grated garlic clove. It is what makes the sandwich taste like it came from a deli.
