Subway introduced the spiciest sandwiches on its menu to date. The limited-duration Ghost Pepper Bread is available in two new subs: Spicy Nacho Steak and Fiery Meatball.

Subway’s culinary team developed the artisanal recipes in over a year, combining heat, crunch and flavor. It is made by coating Artisan Italian bread dough in ghost pepper, habanero and paprika-seasoned panko breadcrumbs. It is then topped with Monterey cheddar cheese and jalapeño slices and then baked.

“It’s been three years since Subway added a new sub bread to our menu, so we wanted to surprise our guests with something unexpected and capable of elevating every sub on our menu,” said Paul Fabre, Senior Vice President of Culinary and Innovation at Subway. “Spicy food is wildly popular, and our guests have told us they are craving more spice on our menu. Subway’s new Ghost Pepper Bread opens up so many delicious possibilities to try, whether you are looking for a hearty kick on your favorite sandwich or maximum heat from our spiciest subs yet.”

The Spicy Nacho Steak is a remix of the Spicy Nacho Chicken that debuted earlier this summer. It is made with sliced steak, covered in cheddar cheese sauce and topped with green peppers, red onion, spicy jalapenos and SubKrunch™ – Subway’s new crunchy sandwich topping – and finished with Creamy Sriracha.

The Fiery Meatball is a twist on Subway’s meatball sub, with savory flavors of pepperoni, pepper jack cheese and jalapenos, Sriracha sauce, pepper jack and parmesan cheese.
