Savor the iconic flavors of New Orleans with this bold Muffuletta Sandwich! Packed with layers of cured meats, provolone, and olive salad inside a hearty loaf, this is your go-to sandwich for entertaining or indulgent bites.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large round loaf of Muffuletta bread (or ciabatta)

  • 8 slices of salami
  • 8 slices of mortadella
  • 8 slices of ham
  • 8 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Slice the bread loaf horizontally. Toast lightly if a crunchier texture is desired.
  2. Spread olive salad evenly on both bread halves, reaching the edges for full flavor.
  3. Layer salami, mortadella, ham, and provolone cheese on one bread half.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the layered ingredients and top with the second half of bread.

Notes

This sandwich is ideal for preparing ahead of time; just wrap and refrigerate. Use grilled veggies or lean meats for a lighter variation. Don’t skip the rest time, it’s essential for full flavor infusion.
