Smashed Italian Sausage Hoagie

Step 1: Press & shape the Italian sausage

Sandwich components

  • Italian Sausage
    180 g~1/3 lb
  • Shallots, thinly sliced
    1/2

On a sheet tray, plate, or parchment paper, flatten & form the Italian sausage into a “hoagie patty”: press it into a cohesive flattened rectangle that is slightly wider and longer than the bread. It will shrink to size during cooking.

  • If you have sausage links instead of loose ground sausage, remove their casing beforehand.

Evenly spread the sliced onions over the meat patty and gently press them into the meat.
