Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Roast beef — Choose lean and thinly sliced roast beef for a tender texture.
  • Chicken breast — Season the chicken breast with your favorite spices before cooking for added flavor.
  • Gyro meat — If you can't find gyro meat, you can substitute it with thinly sliced lamb or beef seasoned with gyro spices.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra kick of flavor, add sliced jalapenos or banana peppers to the sandwich.
  • Toast the hoagie rolls before assembling the sandwich for a warm and crispy texture.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or Swiss, to customize the flavor.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, you can use whole wheat hoagie rolls and low-fat cheese.
  • Make sure to slice the tomatoes and pickles thinly for easier biting and even distribution of flavors.
