This delightfully easy, and somewhat messy, sandwich packs a punch with sweet balsamic vinegar, artichoke hearts, red onion, provolone cheese and zesty pepperoncini. We love it for dinner as well as lunch. If you're packing the hoagies to take along, keep the ingredients separate and assemble right before eating to avoid soggy bread. Serve with tomato and cucumber salad.

  • Combine artichoke hearts, tomato, vinegar, oil and oregano in a medium bowl. Cut baguette into 4 equal lengths. Split each piece horizontally and pull out about half of the soft bread from each side. Drain the onions and pat dry.

  • To assemble sandwiches, divide provolone among the bottom pieces of baguette. Spread on the artichoke mixture and top with the onion, lettuce and pepperoncini, if using. Cover with the baguette tops. Serve immediately.

This is fabulous!! I can see why everyone is raving & excited we LOVED this sandwich. I grilled the onion along with slices of zucchini & squash from the garden. Just spritzed them with olive oil & laid on the grill. I used fresh garden roma tomatoes (can you tell my garden is in?). Absolutely loved this recipe. Thanks EW. Read More

I am not a vegetarian but could easily convert to one after eating this devine sandwich! I made a few minor adjustments: (1) I did not soak the onion rings and they were just fine and likely that helped avoid extra moisture and juiciness. (2) I slightly increased the tomatoes vinegar and oil. (3) The baquette bread in the bakery was much to hard and my teeth are old (!) so I used Kaiser whole grain rolls and they were perfect. All in all this one's a keeper. Read More

This sandwich was DELICOUS! It packed in so much flavor without the extra calories and it's so great since it's so healthy! My kids beg for it every lunch. I personally love spicy things so I think a couple of pickled jalapenos or banana peppers would put a kick into it. Try toasting the bread with the cheese on it so it becomes melted! Don't be shy to make this sandwich your own! Read More

Great make ahead lunch solution! I made these up for the whole week so skipped the lettuce. I made them as mini sandwiches wrapped them up and left the bowl in the fridge. I can grab one for lunch as is my meat-eater husband likes to add some turkey. Extra good heated up in the toaster oven. Read More

We made these for my vegetarian 7 year old who is very hard to please. They were even a hit with the rest of the meat eaters in the family. We added avocado to go along with it and it was heavenly! Read More

Good recipe. I used red wine vinegar instead of basalmic and used a little feta cheese as well. Definitely a keeper. Read More
