Ingredients

24 (1/8-inch to 1/4-inch) slices Italian dry Genoa salami (about 4 ounces)
1/3 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with aluminum foil. Arrange the salami in a single layer over the baking sheets. Bake until the salami slices are amber brown, watching closely to ensure they brown evenly, about 15 minutes. Transfer the salami crisps to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to absorb the excess oil. Set aside to cool.

Spoon a dollop of sour cream on top of each salami crisp. Sprinkle the basil over and serve.

Do-Ahead Tip: The salami crisps can be made 8 hours ahead. Store in airtight containers and keep at room temperature.

GRAPE/VARIETAL: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir

RECOMMENDED WINE #2: La Valentina Montepulciano d'Abuzzo 2002

I have made these several times for family get togethers. They always go fast but because they are quick and easy to make, it... is not a problem to make more. Read more

Good, but didn't love
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe was good, but it wasn't my favorite Giada recipe! The crisps got kinda hard after sitting for a while and were... very chewey. Maybe I didn't cook them long enough? I will try it again. My husband and I could only eat a few of these before we were tired of them. It's not one of those appetizers that you can eat a ton of, but maybe that's a good thing. The presentation was really nice - it looked fancy. I recommend trying this recipe, but don't expect to be wowed. Read more

completely addicting
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I served these at a christmas party and everyone loved them... especially at the end of the night after dinner and dessert... when you start wanting something salty again - we pulled them back out and they were gone in a flash. I cut the salami slices in half to make them a little more bite size. The first batch I didn't cook long enough - they looked like they were done in the oven but were only semi-crispy. The second batch, I increased the oven temp to 350 and that worked great. They came out PERFECT. Oh, and also, if you're like me and love to use light sour cream. This isn't the time for it. Real sour cream holds up much better - make sure it's really cold.Read more
