HERE IS MY LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/jakatak COOKING WITH JACK MERCH: https://jakatak-shop.fourthwall.com/collections/cooking-with-jack The recipe 12 pieces** thinly sliced Genoa salami (use regular-size slices that fit a standard muffin tin; some variations use mini tins or 2–3 overlapping slices per cup for sturdier walls) ½ cup** cherry tomatoes, chopped (or quartered) ½ cup** mini pearl bocconcini (small mozzarella balls) or diced fresh mozzarella 3 tbsp** fresh basil, chopped (or thinly sliced) 1 tbsp** olive oil - Optional add-ins (common in similar recipes): a drizzle of balsamic glaze, chopped marinated bell peppers, artichoke hearts, or kalamata olives for extra antipasto flavor 1. **Preheat** your oven to **400°F (200°C)**. 2. **Form the cups**: Place one salami slice into each cup of a regular (or mini) muffin tin. Gently press down to shape it into a cup. Tip: Use the bottom of a shot glass or small glass to help press and mold the salami firmly against the sides and bottom. 3. **Bake**: Bake for **8–10 minutes**, or until the salami is crisp and holds its shape. The edges will brown slightly. Note: The cups continue to crisp up as they cool. 4. **Cool**: Carefully remove the salami cups from the tin and transfer them to a wire rack. Let them cool completely (this helps them firm up even more). 5. **Make the filling**: In a bowl, gently toss the chopped cherry tomatoes, bocconcini, basil, and olive oil together. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired. 6. **Assemble**: Spoon the filling into the cooled crispy salami cups. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for extra flavor if you like. 7. **Serve** immediately as a one-bite appetizer. A COOKING SHOW FOR THE REGULAR JOE.
