How to Make Muffalata Sandwich By Any Name Tastes Great

  1. Cut the Italian rolls in half horizontally and gently scoop out most of the soft bread from the center, leaving about a 1/2-inch border.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of pesto with the tapenade and sliced artichoke hearts. Mix well.
  3. Spread 1 tablespoon of remaining pesto on the cut sides of each roll.
  4. Divide the olive-artichoke-pesto mixture evenly between the two rolls and spread it on the pesto-coated surfaces.
  5. Layer the turkey, ham, salami, and provolone cheese evenly on top of the olive mixture in each roll.
  6. **For Hot Muffuletta:** Heat a heavy cast iron skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Top with another heavy pan or a heat-resistant object (like a filled kettle) to press down gently. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  7. **For Cold Muffuletta:** Gently press the two halves of each sandwich together. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
  8. Serve and enjoy your delicious Muffuletta sandwich!
