Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 slices of thick-cut salami e.g., Genoa, pepperoni, or any preferred type
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Sharp knife
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or aluminum foil
  • Spoon for spreading or stuffing
  • Small bowl for seasoning

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Salami: Lay the slices of salami flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, make small cuts halfway through each slice, creating slits that fan out. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
  2. Stuff with Cheese: Gently stuff each slit with shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed.

  3. Season: Drizzle the olive oil over the stuffed salami. Sprinkle the minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper evenly over the top.
  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the prepared salami slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the salami becomes crispy around the edges and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Customization: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or provolone for a different flavor. You can also add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra aromatic appeal.

  • Meal Prep: Prepare the salami slices in advance, stuff them with cheese, and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Alternative Cooking Method: For a smoky flavor, grill the Hasselback Salami on medium heat for 10-15 minutes, using foil to prevent cheese from drippin
