Muffaletta Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine stuffed olives, black olives, and Italian dressing together in a bowl. Mix cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, ham, and salami together in a separate bowl. Spread cheese mixture into a pie plate.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Top dip with olive mixture.

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.

Steps:

• rinse and drain pickled vegetables. Remove stems from peppers. Chopped vegetables. You should have about 1 cup. In a 1 1/2 or 2 quart slow cooker, mix pickled vegetables, cream cheese, provolone cheese, ham, olives, garlic, Italian seasoning and if desired crushed red pepper.
• Cover and cook on low heat setting for 2 to 3 hours. Stir until cream cheese is smooth. Stir in enough milk, 2 to 3 tablespoons, to reach dipping consistency. Serve at once or keep warm covered, on warm setting or low heat setting for up to two hours, stirring occasionally and adding milk as needed. Serve with salami on toasted bread. Make 22 servings.

Steps:

• Whisk the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl to blend. Gradually blend in the oil. Stir in the olives and roasted peppers. Season the vinaigrette, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Cut the top 1-inch of the bread loaf. Set the top aside. Hollow out the bottom and top halves of the bread. Spread some of the olive and roasted pepper mix over the bread bottom and cut side of the bread top. Layer the meats and cheeses in the bread bottom. Top with the onions, then the arugula. Spread the remaining olive and roasted pepper mix on top of the sandwich and carefully cover with the bread top. You can serve the sandwich immediately or you can wrap the entire sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator a day before serving.
• Cut the sandwich into wedges and serve.
