I make these mini sandwiches if friends are coming over to watch a movie or the game -- the spicy flavors of New Orleans in a few bites. These deli mini's are packable appetizers too, so consider taking them to a tailgate or picnic - just wrap the sandwich in waxed paper and secure with wooden picks (olives are optional).

INGREDIENTS

12 small deli breadrolls, cut in half
1 1/2c [285g] mayonnaise
4T [60g] spicy mustard – Creole preferred
1/2 red onion, diced
12 thin cheese slices
12 thin deli turkey slices
12 Genoa salami slices
1 16 oz. [450g] jar olive bruschetta or tapenade
whole olives and bamboo deli picks (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Mix mayonnaise, onion and mustard together in small bowl. Spread mixture on one cut side of each deli roll.
Layer salami, turkey and cheese slices on top of mustard/mayo/onion mixture.
Top meat and cheese slices with 2 ½ T [30g] olive tapenade.
Place top half of deli roll on each sandwich.
Spear sandwiches with whole olive and bamboo pick.
