Using a pastry brush lightly brush both sides of each baguette bread with olive oil. On one side of each baguette bread spread a generous amount of the Artichoke Mascarpone Hummus using an offset spatula. Place the baguettes into a 350 degree oven and bake for 6-8 minutes or until the bread is golden and the Artichoke Mascarpone Hummus is lightly browned.

2. To Serve:

1. Arrange a small quantity of the Muffaletta Olive Herb Salad onto each baguette bread slice.

2. Decoratively place the thinly shaved warm slices of pastrami onto each baguette bread slice. Lightly arrange a small amount of Muffaletta Olive Herb Salad over and in between the slices of pastrami. Finish the baguettes by placing thin slices of fresh Buffalo mozzarella cheese in between the slices of pastrami

3. Attractively arrange the baguettes onto 4 decorative serving platters; garnishing each platter with a small quantity of micro herbs. Serve immediately enjoy!
