Prep Time: 10 minutes mins
Cook Time: 7 minutes mins
Yield: 24

Ingredients 

• 24 slices salami, the large size, 4 inches in diameter – regular or spicy but be sure it’s 4” wide.
• 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, (4 oz) diced
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 1/3 cup marinated bell pepper, well drained and coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped, optional
• 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
• 1/3 cup marinated artichoke hearts, optional, well-drained, coarsely chopped

Instructions

• Lay each slice of salami over a standard muffin tin or cupcake pan and push them into the cups using a small ramekin or a measuring cup to form the little salami bowls. Pushing it into the cups creates little pleats which helps them to keep their form.
• Bake at 400°F for 7-9 minutes or until salami is crisp at the edges and holds its shape. Let cool in baking pan for 5 minutes then transfer salami to a wire rack and cool completely.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the filling ingredients and olive oil and gently stir to combine. Divide the filling between the cups. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve.
