How to Make a Baked Sandwich
INGREDIENTS –
To make a baked sandwich, you’ll need some bread and your favorite sandwich ingredients –
- bread – a loaf of French bread, hamburger buns, slices of bread, King’s Hawaiian rolls, etc.
- deli meat – deli turkey, deli ham, salami, pepperoni,
- cheese – cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, provolone cheese, parmesan, mozzarella cheese
- condiments – mayo, mustard, dijon mustard, garlic powder + melted butter mixture, worcestershire sauce,
You’ll also need some toppings that you’ll add on at the very end –
- tomato
- lettuce
- pickles
- onions
- peppers
DIRECTIONS –
First, cut your French bread in half, lengthwise, and place it on a baking pan, open sides up. (If you’re using rolls, cut them in half and place the bottom halves on a baking dish. (The tops of the sandwiches can be added on just before you bake them.)
Spoon and spread a layer of your desired amount of condiments, then top with slices of meat and cheese.
Bake this in the oven until the meat is warm, the cheese is melted, and your French bread is soft but crispy on the edges.
Slice your French bread into individual servings, and top with desired toppings. Serve with a salad or some potato chips and you’re good to go!

I love this idea! Makes the perfect easy weeknight dinner!
Thanks, they really are super easy to throw together on a busy night!
Made this for dinner last night. My kids devoured it. YUM!
I’m so happy to hear they loved them!
Such a perfect dinner and lunch idea.
I like the open faced sandwich… so I get the bread but not too much! I also loved how you suggested the two kinds of cheeses in your photos… my son was like wow… these are so gourmet! :).
I totally agree, I love that it only uses one slice of bread so I can scratch my carb itch without having too much!
Yum! I could eat a sandwich anytime! Love the idea of it being baked in the oven!
