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

  1. Using a bread knife, carefully slice the round loaf of bread in half horizontally.
  2. Evenly spread the olive salad on both cut sides of the bread, ensuring the distribution of olives and other ingredients in the salad.
  3. 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.
  4. Place the top half of the bread on the sandwich. Press down firmly, but avoid squishing the bread.
  5. For a traditional serving, slice the sandwich into quarters. This also makes it easier to handle and eat.
  6. Enjoy your Muffuletta immediately, or for an even more authentic experience, wrap it up and let it sit for an hour or two, allowing the flavors to meld together even more.
