Muffuletta & Grilled Cheese Hybrid

This muffuletta–meets–grilled cheese hybrid is off‑the‑charts delicious. The tangy olive tapenade, savory Italian meats, melty provolone, and buttery sourdough come together in one serious flavor bomb.

INGREDIENTS HIGHLIGHTS

Sourdough Bread (2 slices) — Sturdy, tangy, and perfect for holding all the melty, savory layers.

Butter (1 tablespoon) — Gives the bread that golden, crisp, griddled finish.

Provolone Cheese (6 slices) — Mild, creamy melt that wraps everything together.

Hot Coppa & Hot Sopressata (3–4 slices each) — Spicy, savory heat with just the right amount of richness.

Red Onion (thinly sliced) — Adds a sharp, fresh bite to balance the fat and heat.

Divina Muffuletta Olive Salad (2 tablespoons) — Briny, punchy, and full of texture — the flavor booster that makes the whole sandwich pop.

HOW TO MAKE IT

Prepare all of your ingredients before you start. I like to assemble the sandwich directly in the heated pan, which can get tricky unless everything is ready to go. If you prefer a calmer setup, you can build the sandwich first and then transfer it to the buttered, heated pan.

ASSEMBLE & COOK

Add half of the butter to the pan over medium heat. Add the bottom slice of bread to the pan. Then layer 3 slices of cheese, next 3 slices each of the coppa and sopressata rotating as you layer. Add the sliced onion and spoon the muffuletta olive salad mixture over. Repeat the meat layer, followed by the cheese layer. And top with the final piece of bread.

FINISH & ENJOY!

When the bottom layer of bread is nice and golden, add the remaining butter to the pan and flip the sandwich. Cook until the bread is golden brown and cheese is nice and melted. Remove the sandwich, cut it in half and serve it right away.
