Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup mayo (or cottage cheese for a healthier version)
  • 3 to 5 cherry peppers (plus 2 teaspoons of the brine from the cherry pepper jar) stems removed
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • kosher salt, pepper
  • 4 sub buns
  • 8 to 12 slices deli ham
  • 8 to 12 slices salami
  • 4 to 8 slices provolone cheese
  • shredded lettuce
Instructions

  1. Put the mayo (or cottage cheese) in a food processor or blender along with the cherry peppers plus brine, lemon juice, garlic, kosher salt, and pepper. Blend 1 minute.

  2. Put the bottom sub buns on a baking sheet and top each with ham, salami, and cheese. Place in a 375-degree oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Place the top sub buns on the baking sheet, cut side up (but not on the sandwiches) and bake for 4 to 5 more minutes.

  3. Add the cherry pepper aioli, lettuce, and top bun. Serve warm.

    Note: If you have any cherry pepper aioli left, it's so good as a dip for pita chips or store in the fridge to use on different sandwiches or wraps.
