Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Top 4 of the bread slices with cheese slices, ham and remaining bread slices. Beat egg whites and milk in shallow dish or pie plate. Dip each sandwith into egg mixture, turning to coat both sides. Place sandwiches on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake 6 minutes, turn. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until sandwiches are golden brown. Cut sandwiches diagonally in half. Makes 4 servings.

One of the groups I belong to posted a recipe for Baked Sub Sandwiches. Does anyone have the recipe?

I like to bake ham and cheese subs. First I make sure the roll is split, open it up and stick it in the oven just for a minute to toast the inside of it a little. Then while that's toasting, I go ahead and stick my ham in the microwave just to warm it up so when the sub rolls are toasted I just add the ham on the roll and top with mozzerella cheese (or your favorite). Stick the side of the roll with the ham and cheese back in the oven just to melt the cheese. While the cheese is melting I start adding toppings to the other side of the toasted roll.
Baked Deli Sandwich - from Taste of Home
A friend brought these to a "women's night out" for my Bible study group, and they are DELISH! Serves 4-6
INGREDIENTS
1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed (I make my own in the bread machine - dough cycle.)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
PREP 20 min. COOK 10 min. TOTAL 30 min.
DIRECTIONS
On a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray, roll dough into a rectangle. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the butter and seasonings. Roll out dough into a 14-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Brush with half of the butter mixture. Layer the ham, mozzarella cheese, turkey and cheddar cheese lengthwise over half of the dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Fold dough over and pinch firmly to seal. Brush with remaining butter mixture.
Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into 1-in. slices. Serve immediately with pizza sauce if desired.
Toasted subs are called "hogies" and have been big in the NE part of the country for decades. I'm so glad that they're finally coming mainstream throughout the country. Simply make any type of sandwich you want (meat and cheese on a roll) and place it in a toaster oven or under a broiler until hot/toasted, remove and put toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, pepper rings, cucumber, green pepper strips, etc) and dressing on, and serve hot.
