Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) to prepare for toasting and melting.
- Generously coat hoagie rolls with butter, then place in the oven for 5 minutes until they turn crisp and golden brown.

- Liberally spread the prepared seasoned mayo across the toasted rolls, ensuring even coverage.
- Layer tender roast beef slices onto each roll, followed by two generous cheese slices per sandwich.

Notes

- Swap roast beef with turkey or plant-based protein for vegetarian and lighter meal options.
- Enhance flavor by caramelizing onions before adding them to the sandwich for deeper, sweeter taste profile.
- Control portion sizes by using smaller rolls or cutting sandwiches in half for lighter appetites or as appetizers.
