Toast the open face of the hoagie rolls. It's a little tricky to toast buns like this. I put mine under the broiler for about 3-4 minutes and they turned out great. You could also place them over the openings in a toaster.

Cheese is not necessary here, and maybe not strictly traditional, but I think it's totally worth it. Tuck a couple of slices in the toasted hoagie.
