Muffuletta Deviled Eggs make the best Mardi Gras Appetizer that goes well with Jambalaya and gumbo! Creamy yolks, mixed with mustard, hard salami, spicy salami, smoky provolone cheese, and tangy olive salad make these the perfect Fat Tuesday food!
What kind of food do you eat on Fat Tuesday?
It’s only the best sandwich that I have ever put in my mouth!
When Brooks took me to visit his college friends in New Orleans, little did I know that I was going to be eating the sandwich to ruin all other sandwiches.
If you haven’t had the pleasure of having a muffaletta sandwich, let me break it down for you.
Created in New Orleans at the Decatur Street Central Grocery Company Store, it starts with a bread loaf that is called a muffuletta.
The bread is crispy on the outside and light on the inside and is shaped like a flattened, large, round loaf.
It doesn’t have any additional spices and seasonings baked into it other than sesame seeds.
A muffuletta sandwich starts with this amazing bread loaf but doesn’t stop there. It is then loaded down with mouth-watering ingredients.

The Muffaletta recipe starts with the muffuletta bread which is is sliced in half and then the magic happens.
What is in a Muffuletta Sandwich?
- Mortadella
- Salami
- Capicola
- Swiss Cheese
- Provolone Cheese
- Olive Salad similar to giardiniera.
This is the perfect addition to a deviled egg version because deviled eggs are named that for being spicy!
This tower of goodness is covered with the top of the muffaletta bread loaf and sold either in quarters, halves, or a whole sandwich.
I could barely finish a quarter of one even though I ordered a half. Mine was served room temperature but I have had it toasted too and it is delicious with all the cheese melted!
All this goodness shouldn’t be available only in a sandwich so I decided to incorporated it into a deviled egg.
This makes it acceptable to eat for breakfast because it has eggs, right?!
Now that I have told you how the sandwich is made, let me tell you how to make a muffaletta into deviled eggs.
How to make Muffuletta Deviled Eggs
First: Hard boil the eggs. Peel, cut in half, and remove yolks to a mixing bowl.
Second: To the yolks, add the mayo, mustard, chopped salami, Capicola, cheese, seasonings, and olive salad. Stir to combine.
Third: Place in a zip top bag or piping bag and pipe into the egg white halves.
Fourth: Top with more chopped fillings and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Can I make them ahead of time?
Yes, you can. Deviled eggs are easy to make ahead of time and save time later on. No more than 24 hr as it will start to get watery from the olive salad.
What can I use if I can’t find Capicola?
Feel free to use regular sliced ham but I would add a few dashes of hot sauce to the recipe to replace the spice.
How long will the muffuletta eggs last in the refrigerator?
The deviled eggs with last 2 days in the fridge once they are made. But, in my experience, they all get eaten if left unattended:)
Serve these with a King Cake Truffles, Air Fryer Beer Pickles, and wash them down with a Blonde Beer Margarita!
