Description
Make this warm, savory dip inspired by the classic New Orleans Muffuletta sandwich. It features olives, peppers, meats, and cheese, perfect for your next party.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 oz pitted green olives
- ½ cup roasted red pepper
- ½ cup giardiniera
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup salami cut into small cubes
- 4 oz provolone cheese cut into small cubes
- 1 tablespoon grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley finely minced for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the olives, roasted red pepper, and drained giardiniera (discard pickles if there are any) in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until everything is coarsely chopped.
- Place this mixture in a bowl along with the softened cream cheese, salami, and provolone cheese and mix well to combine.
- Pour this mixture in an oven-safe dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and top with the mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Notes
- You can make this dip a day or so ahead. Cover it unbaked, and refrigerate until you are ready to bake it.
- Find jarred giardiniera, which is pickled carrots, cauliflower, celery, and pepperoncini peppers, next to the pickles in your grocery store.
- Serve this dip with sturdy crackers or toasted French bread rounds.
