This sandwich is also delicious if you chop up giardiniera (pickled vegetables) and add in with the olives as the spread. This gives it a bit of kick. YUM!

This is nothing like the Muffuletta I had in New Orleans, The bread isn't correct. Don't use sourdough like a other said, find something hard with Sesame seeds on it.

I thought this was really good! It is so simple to throw together for a quick, light meal. I've never had anything like this before, so I can't really compare it to anything else. I did feel like it was missing something, but I'd still make this again. Thanks.

You'll get much more flavor if you actually mix the olive salad together with the herbs and let it marinate in the fridge prior to making the sandwich. Also, a muffaletta is served on sourdough.

Have you ever been to New Orleans? You can't just put the olives on the sandwich. It has to be an olive salad. If you want a real muffaletta recipe, check out Real N'Awlins Muffaletta on this site. It may be more work, but I can guarantee, that you will be happier with the results, because it really is just like those made in New Orleans.

pretty good- and easy! Only suggestion is that it needed a little more something in the flavor category... will try others' suggestions to beef up the flavor a bit more, other than that- my husband and I loved it!

WOW! I thought I'd go out on a whim and try this... I went to the grocery, got home, threw it all together (in no time) and it was GREAT! Instead of olives (don't care for them on sandwiches) I used banana peppers AND I heated it in the over for about 10 mins. so the cheese would melt and the bread would get just a little crispy. Loved it and so did my husband! Thanks for sharing!!

These are awesome! I added fresh basil leaves. Also I used Prosciutto, capicola, and pepperoni. Quite tasty! Great for picnic or whatever!

Loved this! I'm not a huge sandwich person, but this was wonderful with some italian soup to accompany it! My husband is not a huge olive fan, so I just made his without and added some pepper on his. Wonderful! Def. a favorite of ours! Thanks for sharing this!

I love the Muffuletta sandwiches at Jason's Deli. I made this recipe for a family of 5. All of who like olives but none have had a Muffaletta before. They only variation I did was that I added the oil to the olives and made it more of a "olive salad" which I had made in the past and which you can find a recipe for online. I also heated the sandwiches in the oven before adding the "olive salad". I thought this tasted pretty good, but unremarkable. I'd make it again if I had all of the ingredients on hand but it isn't something I'd make for company because it didn't "dazzle" me I guess. :)

I made these for the AFC Championship game and they were excellent. I did add a little Italian dressing to the olive mix only because I always do that. They had such a nice flavor! Go Pittsburgh!

I hate olives but LOVE this sandwich! I don't use the mozzarella cheese, as the provolone is plenty cheesy enough. You can buy olives already chopped. I cut the finished loaf into 8th's and put on a platter. Guests think I ordered from a gourmet shop!!

I drizzled the bread with garlic oil, just like I do for my Sub Sandwiches, We really liked these. Thanks, Suzanne, I can now make two sandwiches my Grandchildren rave about.
