New Orleans Muffuletta Recipe

Step 1

Slice the round bread in half horizontally and open it on a flat surface.

Step 2

Brush both inner sides of the bread with oil from the Olive Salad or extra virgin olive oil, go a little heavier on the bottom.

Step 3

Begin layering thre ham, salami, and mortadella on the bottom half of the bread. Top with cheeses.

Step 4

Next, add the olive salad from the center out and spread it, leaving about a half-inch around the edge. Place the top half of the bread over the olive mixture, and press down to let the bread absorb the olive salad juices.

Step 5

Using a bread knife, slice the round sandwich into 4 to 6 wedges.

Step 6

Optional: place the whole sandwich, before slicing, on a large baking sheet, and toast/warm-up in a 350F preheated oven for about 5 minutes.
