Authentic New Orleans Muffuletta Sandwich
Savor the true spirit of New Orleans with this authentic Muffuletta sandwich. This culinary masterpiece, widely renowned in the Big Easy, is a mouth-watering medley of Italian cold cuts, cheese, and a vibrant olive salad, all nestled within a round, crusty loaf of bread. Every bite takes you on a journey through a symphony of textures and flavors, from the salty-savory meats to the tangy, marinated olive salad, and the crusty exterior of the bread giving way to its soft, absorbent interior.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Olive salad
- 1 1/2 cups, homemade or store-bought
- Provolone cheese
- 8 slices
- Ham
- 8 slices
- Genoa salami
- 8 slices
- Round loaf of bread
- 1 (10-inch)
Instructions
- Using a bread knife, carefully slice the round loaf of bread in half horizontally.
- Evenly spread the olive salad on both cut sides of the bread, ensuring the distribution of olives and other ingredients in the salad.
- On the bottom half of the bread, layer the Genoa salami, ham, and provolone cheese. For a more interesting texture, alternate the layers of meat and cheese.
