Salami Cups Antipasto Recipe
Description
The recipe forms each slice of large-diameter salami into a small cup using a muffin tin, then bakes them until crisp at the edges while maintaining their cup shape. The fill is a combination of diced fresh mozzarella, quartered cherry tomatoes, marinated bell peppers, chopped kalamata olives, and optional artichoke hearts, all tossed in olive oil for added flavor and moisture.
Once the salami cups cool, they are filled and garnished with fresh basil, providing a contrast of textures and fresh herb aroma. These cups serve well as finger foods or antipasto plates, combining rich cured meat with vegetable and cheese fillings.
Ingredients
- 24 lices salami the large size, 4 inches in diameter - regular or spicy but be sure it’s 4” wide.
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese 4 oz) diced, fresh
- 1/2 cup cherry tomato quartered
- 1/3 cup bell pepper well drained and coarsely chopped, marinated
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives chopped, optional, pitted
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup basil thinly sliced, fresh leaves
- 1/3 cup artichoke hearts optional, well-drained, coarsely chopped, marinated
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.
