Step 1: Press & shape the Italian sausage
Sandwich components
- italian sausage180 g~1/3 lb
- shallots, thinly sliced1/2
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.
