Air Fryer Muffaletta Sandwich
Description
Get ready to experience a New Orleans classic with a modern twist! Introducing the Air Fryer Muffaletta Sandwich, a mouth-watering combination of marinated olive salad, layers of cured meats, and melty cheese, all packed between the iconic round sesame loaf.
Ingredients
- 1 round, seeded loaf of bread, 8- to 9-inch round
- 4 ounces salami, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces capicola, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces mortadella, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces provolone cheese, thinly sliced
- 1 cup olive salad, any brand
Instructions
- Slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally and use your hands to hollow out each half by removing the soft bread inside. This will create cavities for the filling.
- Leave 1/2-inch of soft bread near the crust, taking care not to tear through the crust.
- Stir the salad once more to reincorporate the oil and seasonings, then spread about 2 cups total on the 2 pieces of bread. Use the back of a spoon to really smoosh it down into the bread, covering the entire surface.
- Layer the salami, capicola, mortadella, mozzarella, and provolone on the bottom piece of bread. Carefully flip the top piece of bread on top.
- Tightly wrap the muffuletta with foil and allow it to sit for at least 1 hour at room temperature for the flavors to marry and the oil to soak into the bread.
- Place the wrapped sandwich into the air fryer and heat at 300 degrees F, and cook until the cheese has melted, about 5-7 minutes.
