  • Makes 4 sandwiches + extra tapenade
Author Notes

This sandwich earns it's name from the umami rich ingredients used to make it. Substitute any deli meat you prefer or even make this into a burger. Since the tapenade and miso mayo are salty try the sandwich before adding additional salt. —brisketandbagels.com
