- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally so the tops come off in one piece.
- Layer the sliced ham, pepperoni, and cheese onto the bottom halves.
- Place the bottoms in the oven and bake for 6–8 minutes.
- While they bake, make the lettuce mixture: combine shredded lettuce, onions, 1.5 tbsp Italian seasoning, red wine vinegar, mayo, peperoncini peppers, 1 tbsp peperoncini juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
- If making the high-protein version, take a portion of the mixture before adding mayo, place it in a separate bowl, and mix in cottage cheese instead.
- Remove the rolls from the oven, place the tops on, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Bake again for about 5 minutes, until the tops are toasted.
- Take them out of the oven, lift the tops, and add the lettuce mixture and tomatoes.
- Close, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
If you are making the high protein version, before you add the mayo to the lettuce mixture, take a little bit of the mixture out into another bowl. Add cottage cheese to that mixture.
