Baked Salami Two Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the salami slices on a baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each slice. Bake until the edges are crispy and stiff, about 10 minutes. Transfer the salami chips to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess fat. Serve immediately or store, refrigerated, in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Remove wrapping from salami and score the entire thing crosswise, into 1/4-inch slices but don't cut all the way through.
• Place salami in a pan and bake uncovered, in a pre-heated 350° oven for one hour; drain fat.
• Combine brown sugar and barbecue sauce; pour over drained salami and return to the oven; bake for another hour, basting with pan juices every 15 minutes.
• To serve, place warm salami on a cutting board along with a serrated knife and let everyone cut through the slices and eat with the cocktail rye and/or crackers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium cast-iron pan or braiser, bring the tomatoes and sauce, olives, salami and olive oil to a simmer over medium-high heat. Season with pepper and salt if necessary (the salami and the olives can be salty).
• Arrange the mozzarella on top, make 4 wells and crack an egg into each. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the basil on top and drizzle with more olive oil. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the eggs are set but still runny, about 20 minutes.
• Toast the bread in a toaster and then rub with the garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with grated Pecorino and serve with the baked eggs.

Steps:

• Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 325°F.
• Arrange salami slices in 1 layer on 2 large baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until edges are crisp and beginning to curl, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer slices to a rack to cool. (They will crisp as they cool.)

Steps:

• Slice salami about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick (your preference), but not all the way through.
• Leave it intact enough at the bottom so it will hold together.
• Top with the Marmalade and Dijon mustard.
• Enough to cover the whole top of the salami.
• Wrap in foil and bake in a slow oven for 4 hours.
• Once plated, cut through the salami leaving sandwich size pieces but the presentation should still look like a whole salami.
