Salami, Festive: A simple slice turned sturdy, crisp, and party-ready.
Description
These crispy salami cups prove you don’t need much to make an unforgettable holiday bite: just good salami and a hot oven. Simply crisp into sturdy little shells that hold tomatoes, olives, cheese, and briny bits that balance the richness. Fast to make, easy to fill, and even easier to finish off.
Ingredients
- 24 slices North Country Smokehouse Organic Uncured Genoa Salami
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup mixed olives (green or black), sliced
- ¼ cup crumbled feta or goat cheese
- 2 TBSP capers, drained
- Fresh basil, torn
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- Black pepper, to finish
Cooking Instructions
- Make the Salami Cups: Heat the oven to 375°F. Press each salami slice into a mini muffin tin so it forms a cup. Bake 10–12 minutes, until crisp and lightly browned. Let them cool in the pan so they set. Tip: Resist temptation - If you eat them now you have to start all over again.
- Prep the Filling: In a large bowl, toss tomatoes, olives, capers, and cheese with a light drizzle of olive oil. Stick to simple ingredients - the salami does the heavy lifting.
- Assemble: Fill each cooled salami cup with a spoonful of the mixture. Top with fresh basil and a crack of black pepper.
- Serve: Best enjoyed the same day so the cups stay crisp. No one wants a soggy salami cup.
Why It Works
Crispy salami acts like a flavor-packed cracker, sturdy enough for toppings, bold enough to carry the whole bite. The bright, briny filling cuts through the richness for a clean, balanced finish.
