Ingredients

Scale

Mini Muffuletta Bites Ingredients

  • 12 small round bread rolls or slider buns
  • 6 ounces sliced salami
  • 6 ounces sliced ham
  • 6 ounces sliced provolone cheese
  • 1 cup olive salad (store-bought or homemade)
  • Olive oil, for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sandwiches evenly.
  2. Prepare rolls: Slice each of the small bread rolls in half horizontally and brush the cut sides generously with olive oil to promote browning and flavor.
  3. Assemble sandwiches: On the bottom half of each roll, layer slices of salami, ham, and provolone cheese in that order to build the delicious filling.
  4. Add olive salad: Spoon a small amount of olive salad over the cheese on each sandwich for a tangy, flavorful punch.
  5. Top and arrange: Place the top half of each roll onto its assembled bottom half, then arrange all sandwiches on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Bake sandwiches: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese has melted thoroughly and the bread is golden and crisp around the edges.
  7. Serve warm: Remove from oven and serve the Mini Muffuletta Bites warm to enjoy the melty cheese and vibrant flavors at their best.

Notes

  • Use small slider buns or dinner rolls for perfect bite-sized sandwiches.
  • Store-bought olive salad can be used for convenience, or make your own with a mix of chopped olives, pickled vegetables, and seasonings.
  • Brush olive oil generously on bread to help crisp and brown the rolls while baking.
  • These bites are best served fresh and warm but can be reheated gently in the oven if needed.
  • Variations can include adding capicola or mortadella for different Italian-style meats.
