Do you ever want a simple meal idea that is really fantastic! Sometimes I don't want to get a ton of dishes dirty and want a quick meal. One night I had planned to just make sandwiches for dinner, but figured I could elevate the sandwich a little bit and so I made this baked loaf sandwich! It was delicious, filling and it looked kind of fancy too! 🙂
This baked loaf sandwich has a really yummy sandwich spread on it that makes all the difference! Be sure to grab the recipe for the sandwich spread HERE!
Ingredients Needed for Baked Loaf Sandwich
One loaf of Italian Bread
Slices of Mozzarella Cheese (or any kind of cheese you prefer)
Slices of Ham
Sliced Tomato
Banana Pepper Rings (optional, but delish!)
The number of slices depends on how thick or thin you slice your loaf of Italian bread! 🙂
How to Make a Baked Loaf Sandwich
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
First you want to slice your loaf of Italian Bread. Do NOT slice through the loaf!! You need to cut almost through the loaf, but not quite…you want the bottom of the bread to still be attached. I tried to cut my slices about 1/2 inch thick or so.
Next you will spread your 5 Ingredient Sandwich Spread on EVERY OTHER slice. You want to be able to cut the loaf and have a top and bottom part of your sandwich and it not be too messy!
Now you will stuff your loaf with the ham and cheese slices, tomatoes and banana pepper rings. These will go inside the slices that have the sandwich spread on them.
Wrap the whole loaf in foil.
Now you will bake the Baked Loaf Sandwich for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Take out of the foil and slice into sandwiches and serve with your favorite side dish!
