If you're looking for a fun and easy appetizer or party food, look no further than these mini muffulettas. These small sandwiches are packed with flavor and can be made ahead of time, making them perfect for busy hosts or hostesses. Plus, they're so cute and delicious!

The traditional muffuletta is a large sandwich that is popular in New Orleans. It is made with a round loaf of bread that is split and filled with layers of ham, salami, mortadella, provolone cheese, and olive salad. The mini muffulettas in this recipe are made with slider buns, which makes them the perfect size for a party or appetizer.

There are two recipes in this article: the first is for the mini muffulettas themselves, and the second is for the olive salad that is used as a condiment. The olive salad is made with green olives, celery, carrots, bell pepper, and a vinaigrette dressing. It is tangy, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the muffulettas.

Muffuletta, which originated in New Orleans, is named after the round, crusty Sicilian loaf of bread it's traditionally served on. While I favor my own olive salad, there are several good versions available in most supermarkets. -Lou Sansevero, Ferron, Utah

REAL N'AWLINS MUFFULETTA



Real N'awlins Muffuletta image

These gigantic sandwiches were invented a century ago at Sicilian Deli here in New Orleans. The spicy, tangy olive salad is what really sets this meat and cheese sandwich apart. A genuine muffuletta should be made on oven-fresh Italian bread topped with sesame seeds. Be sure and use the highest-quality ingredients available; it really makes a difference! Since you're going to all the trouble of making the olive salad, consider doubling the recipe so you'll have some extra waiting around for when you get another muffuletta craving -- it keeps for at least a month! Note: Use round bread loaves for real muffuletta.

Time P1DT40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup pimento-stuffed green olives, crushed
½ cup drained kalamata olives, crushed
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup roughly chopped pickled cauliflower florets
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon chopped celery
1 tablespoon chopped carrot
½ cup pepperoncini, drained
¼ cup marinated cocktail onions
½ teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup red wine vinegar
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup canola oil
2 (1 pound) loaves Italian bread
8 ounces thinly sliced Genoa salami
8 ounces thinly sliced cooked ham
8 ounces sliced mortadella
8 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese
8 ounces sliced provolone cheese

Steps:

  • To Make Olive Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the green olives, kalamata olives, garlic, cauliflower, capers, celery, carrot, pepperoncini, cocktail onions, celery seed, oregano, basil, black pepper, vinegar, olive oil and canola oil. Mix together and transfer mixture into a glass jar (or other nonreactive container). If needed, pour in more oil to cover. Cover jar or container and refrigerate at least overnight.
  • To Make Sandwiches: Cut loaves of bread in half horizontally; hollow out some of the excess bread to make room for filling. Spread each piece of bread with equal amounts olive salad, including oil. Layer 'bottom half' of each loaf with 1/2 of the salami, ham, mortadella, mozzarella and Provolone. Replace 'top half' on each loaf and cut sandwich into quarters.
  • Serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for a few hours; this will allow for the flavors to mingle and the olive salad to soak into the bread.

  • Don't Overcrowd the Muffalettas: Make sure there is enough space between the muffalettas so they can cook evenly.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: The muffalettas are done baking when they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the Muffalettas Cool: Let the muffalettas cool for a few minutes before serving so they are easier to handle.

Conclusion:

These easy mini muffulettas are a delicious and portable snack or meal. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or potlucks. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your muffulettas are perfect every time.
