These Italian Sub Sandwich Roll-Ups make a delicious and easy appetizers with all the flavors of a classic Italian sub!
Italian Sub Sandwich Roll-Ups:
Today, is a special day on Inspired by Charm. Not only am I teaching how to make these Italian Sub Sandwich Roll-Ups, we’re having a baby shower! I bet you didn’t expect to be attending a baby shower on a random Wednesday in March. Surprise!!
My friend Joanne of Fifteen Spatulas recently welcomed her first little bundle of joy to the world. (Yes, this is a Welcome Baby Shower rather than a Pre-Baby Shower.) A group of bloggers thought it would be fun to throw Joanne and her new baby James, a little party!
All of us have teamed up to share lots of delicious recipes, including appetizers, desserts, and nonalcoholic drinks! I’m joining the appetizer crew to make Italian Sub Sandwich Roll-ups. When it comes to parties in my family, roll-ups are a must, so I thought I’d also make them for Joanne’s virtual shower.
After I walk you through my recipe, be sure to check out the links at the end of this post where you’ll find the recipes of the other bloggers involved in this fabulously festive baby shower!
As I said, I love roll-ups (or pinwheels if you prefer) for entertaining. Not only are they simple to make, but they look beautiful and are full of flavor.
How to Make Italian Sub Sandwich Roll-Ups:
These roll-ups channel the flavors of a classic Italian sub. To start, a layer of cream cheese is loaded with Italian seasonings and sub sandwich veggies. This stuff is yummy. I especially love the addition of the banana peppers.
With the cream cheese layer evenly spread on a tortilla, you can start building the other layers which include salami, pepperoni, and Provolone cheese.
Tomatoes and mixed greens finish things off, and now you’re ready to roll.
After inserting a few toothpicks to hold everything together, cut the rolled-up tortilla into one-inch slices and serve.
Who knew you could pack the yumminess of a classic Italian sub into a bite-sized appetizer?
The recipe is below, but feel free to make these Italian Sub Sandwich Roll-ups your own. If you don’t like black olives or if tomatoes aren’t your thing, leave them out. You do you!
Now, let’s get cooking. We have a baby shower to get to.
