Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place salami slices in a cupcake pan to form cups.

Crumple aluminum foil and place it between the salami to prevent shrinking.

Bake the salami in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness.

Chop green peppers, roasted red peppers, and asiago cheese.

Remove the salami from the oven and let it cool in the pan to maintain the cup shape.

Fill the salami cups with the chopped ingredients.

Optionally, top with fresh basil before serving.

Serve with syrup for dipping if desired.
