Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and minced garlic. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Place the olives, giardiniera, shallot and oregano in your food processor. Pulse a few times until coarsely chopped.
- Transfer the olive mixture to a bowl. Add half of the garlic oil and vinegar. Stir until throughly mixed.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. For best results, cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight (or up to a week).
- Split the bread in half and brush each cut side with the remaining garlic oil.
- Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, and toast the bread directly in the pan until crisp and golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Place the bottom part of the bread, cut side up, on a cutting board. Spread half of the olive salad, making sure to include the juices.
- Layer all the Genoa salami, followed by all the ham. Then, layer the provolone cheese, mozzarella cheese, mortadella, prosciutto and soppressata. Finish with the remaining olive salad.
- Close the sandwich and wrap it tightly - two or three times - with plastic wrap.
- Place the muffuletta top side up on a cutting board and put something heavy (like a big book or a heavy pot) on top of it, to compress it. Let it rest for 1 hour. After 1 hour, turn the sandwich upside down and continue compressing for another hour.
- Cut the sandwich into wedges and serve.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of the oil, the carrot, celery, cauliflower, oregano, thyme and 3 tablespoons water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are somewhat tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a small bowl and stir in the olives, pimento and salt. Set aside to cool.
- When the olive-vegetable salad has cooled, stir in the parsley.
- Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Using your hands, scoop out the inside of each bread half to make a shallow pocket. Brush the inside of the top half with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Fill the bottom bread half with the olive-vegetable salad and pack it down with your hands. Layer the provolone, mortadella and soppressata over the salad (without letting any hang over the sides).
- Cover with the top bread half and tightly wrap the sandwich with plastic wrap. Place the sandwich on a cutting board or baking sheet and weigh it down with a heavy object, such as a cast-iron skillet, for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
- Remove the plastic wrap and cut the sandwich into fourths or sixths. Serve.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
- Prepare enough dough for 16 biscuits according to the biscuit mix package instructions. Pat the biscuit dough into an 8-inch-wide by 1/2-inch-thick disk and transfer to a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet. Brush the top of the biscuit with the cream.
- Bake on the top rack until golden and no longer wet on the inside, 25 to 30 minutes. Turn the biscuit out onto a cooling rack and wipe the skillet with paper towels.
- Form the sausage into an 11-inch circle on a piece of wax paper. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the cleaned skillet. Lift the sausage with the wax paper, flip it over into the skillet and carefully peel off the wax paper. Turn the heat to medium high and cook until browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Invert a large plate over the skillet. Using oven mitts, carefully flip the sausage onto the plate, then slide it back into the skillet to cook on the other side, about 5 minutes more. Remove to a plate.
- Wipe out the skillet with paper towels, return to medium heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Crack the eggs one at a time into the skillet in a circle, overlapping very slightly. Once all the eggs are in, loosen the edges with a spatula. If the eggs are sticking, add up to 1 tablespoon of additional oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Slice the biscuit in half horizontally. Place the sausage patty on the cut side of the bottom piece, arrange the cheese slices on top of the sausage (a slight overhang is okay) and slide the hot eggs on top of the cheese. Drizzle the eggs with hot sauce and cover with the top of the biscuit. Finish with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey if desired.

- Let the sandwich cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the muffuletta with your favorite sides, such as potato salad, coleslaw, or chips.
