Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, prepare all your ingredients in advance. Chop the bread and have your meats and cheese sliced and ready to go before you start assembling the skewers.
- Mix and Match: Feel free to customize your Muffuletta on a Stick by adding other ingredients like roasted peppers, olives, or even artichoke hearts for an extra burst of flavor.
- Skewering Technique: When threading the ingredients onto the skewer, alternate the layers to ensure a balanced flavor in every bite. This helps to keep the ingredients from sliding off while you enjoy them.
- Chill for Flavor: After assembling the skewers, let them sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This allows the olive salad to soak into the bread and meats, enhancing the overall flavor.
- Garnish with Style: Don’t forget the fresh parsley! A sprinkle of chopped parsley not only adds a pop of color but also a fresh herbaceous note that elevates your dish.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve these skewers with a side of extra olive salad or a tangy dipping sauce to take the experience to the next level.
- Perfect for Any Occasion: Whether it’s a game day gathering or a casual get-together, these Muffuletta on a Stick skewers are versatile and sure to please everyone at the table.
