I've made this several times and always with excellent reviews from our guests! I was freaking when I couldnt find it under the mufaletta search for this year 's our Super Bowl party. Thank God I found! Its a must try if you want major compliments! All's well now on the muffaletta side, now to find my jambalya recipe....

I served this as an appetizer at our Christmas party and everyone loved it, even the kids. It is also beautiful to look at! I made it in the morning and wrapped it up and kept it in the fridge until we were ready - it was even great the next day. I did hollow out the bread (a little too much but just pressed it down and it was really delicious.

Was really craving a good Italian sandwich, and this really hit the spot. I'll add some hots next time.
