These muffaletta pinwheels are a party all on their own. They're inspired by the iconic New Orleans sandwich and packed with layers of ham, mortadella, salami, green olive salad, and cream cheese.

Ingredients

4 lavash flatbreads
4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup olive salad, drained and finely chopped
1/2 lb. thinly sliced provolone cheese
1/2 lb. thinly sliced deli ham
1/2 lb. thinly sliced mortadella or bologna
1/2 lb. thinly sliced Genoa salami

Directions

1. Step 1Spread the flatbreads with cream cheese to cover, then spread with the olive salad. Layer the provolone, ham, mortadella, and salami on top, covering the whole flatbread.
2. Step 2Starting with a short side, tightly roll up each flatbread. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate, seam-side down, for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
3. Step 3Unwrap the rolls and trim the ends. Slice into 1-inch pinwheels (about 6 per roll).

Tip: Muffaleta pinwheels can be made up to 12 hours in advance. Roll them tightly and wrap well in plastic wrap to keep them secure and fresh. Store wrapped rolls in the fridge.
