Easy Mufaletta

Instructions

Slice the top off a large round of french bread. Reach inside and pull out the center portion of the bread, so that the crust is hollowed out. (NOTE: Save this interior bread for panzanella salad!)

Spread tapenade on the bottom of the interior of the loaf of bread. Now layer the meats, cheeses, onions and greens, alternating colors and flavors. Finish with another generous spread of tapenade. Return the "lid" of bread to the loaf.

Slice the loaf in half, exposing the layered sandwich interior. Then slice into individual servings or allow your guests to help themselves.
