Muffuletta Poppers

These Muffuletta Poppers from ambassador Frank Campanella, combine everything you love about a classic muffuletta sandwich with a smoky, cheesy jalapeño popper. Fresh jalapeños are stuffed with a creamy mixture of salami, ham, mozzarella, cream cheese, and tangy olive salad, then wrapped in flaky crescent dough and finished with garlic Parmesan butter. They're the perfect appetizer for game day, parties, or your next backyard cook.

Steps

  1. Slice the jalapeños lengthwise and carefully remove the seeds and membranes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped salami, ham, mozzarella, softened cream cheese, olive salad, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined, draining most of the excess oil from the olive salad.
  3. Spoon the muffuletta mixture evenly into each jalapeño half.
  4. Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with crescent roll dough, covering as much of the filling as possible.
  5. Combine the melted butter, Parmesan, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Brush the garlic butter generously over each crescent-wrapped popper and arrange them on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  6. Preheat your smoker to 375°F and cook for 35–45 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Brush the finished poppers with another layer of garlic butter and let them rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
