Muffuletta Egg Bake Recipes

REAL N'AWLINS MUFFULETTA

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.

MUFFULETTA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Slice bread in half lengthwise. Drizzle olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle both sides with Parmesan cheese, basil, and oregano.
• On the bottom half, layer chopped black olives and chopped green olives, then the salami, ham, provolone, and mozzarella. Cover with top layer, and cut into 4 servings.

MUFFULETTA BRUNCH BAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with shortening or cooking spray.
• Arrange 8 oz of the salami, overlapping slightly, in bottom and halfway up sides of baking dish. Top with potatoes, vegetable mix, chopped olives and 1 cup of the cheese. In medium bowl, stir milk, Bisquick mix, Italian seasoning and eggs with fork or whisk until blended. Pour over vegetable mixture.
• Bake uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown around edges and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with cornichons, whole olives and remaining 2 oz salami on frilled toothpicks.

MUFFULETTA EGG BAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 11x7-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with butter or cooking spray. In small bowl, mix ham, olives and roasted peppers. In baking dish, toss bread cubes and half of ham mixture.
• In large bowl, beat eggs and milk with wire whisk until well blended. Pour over ingredients in baking dish. Top evenly with provolone cheese; sprinkle with remaining ham mixture.
• Bake uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until set and edges are golden brown. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

MUFFULETTA GARBAGE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir the olives, giardiniera and parsley together in a bowl.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface into a 20-by-14-inch rectangle. Working from the shorter end, distribute the provolone over half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border at the edge. Evenly distribute the salami over the provolone, then repeat with the ham and mortadella. Sprinkle the olive salad evenly on top. Working from the shorter end, tightly roll the dough up, jelly roll-style, into a log. Pinch the open seams together to seal, then tuck them underneath the log.
• Transfer the log to the prepared baking sheet and brush with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top, then use a sharp knife to slash 4 crosswise vents into the top of the dough.
• Bake until the bread is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. (The cheese may leak out a little bit on the side.)
• Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice crosswise.
