Muffuletta Deviled Eggs

1. Prepare:

   Gather ingredients.

2. Cook and peel eggs:

   Place eggs in a single layer in a stainless steel saucepan. (Do not use nonstick.) Add water to depth of 3 inches. Bring to a rolling boil. Cover, remove from heat, and let stand 15 minutes.

   Tap each egg on the counter until cracks form all over the shell. Peel under cold running water.

3. Make egg filling:

   Slice eggs in half lengthwise; remove yolks. Mash yolks with a fork in a bowl. Stir in mayonnaise until smooth. Fold in Olive Salad.

4. Add filling to egg whites:

   Spoon mixture into egg white halves.

5. Cook salami:

   Heat a small skillet over low heat 1 to 2 minutes or until hot. Add salami, and cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp.

   Remove from skillet, and drain on paper towels. Top eggs with salami. Serve immediately, or cover and chill up to 24 hours.
