Ingredients

  • Genoa salami, 24 slices
  • 1/2 pepperoni stick, diced (roughly 1/2 cup)
  • 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup jarred roasted red peppers, finely chopped
  • 10-12 Castelvetrano olives, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnishing
  • 1 4-ounce fresh mozzarella ball, chopped
  • Fresh black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. In a regular-sized muffin pan, place one salami slice in each muffin cup. Using your fingers, press the salami slices into the cups and press the sides together to form a cup.
  3. Bake for about 7 to 10 minutes or until salami is crisp. Remove from the oven and cool for around 5 minutes in the muffin tin.
  4. Remove the salami cups to a cooling rack lined with paper towels, allowing them to cool completely.
  5. In a large bowl, mix the pepperoni, artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, olives, basil and mozzarella balls. Add fresh pepper to taste.
  6. Place the salami cups on a platter and fill each cup with the artichoke mixture.
  7. Top with chopped basil and serve.
