Some recipes come dressed up with long ingredient lists and fancy stories, but the ones folks remember best are often the humble little party bites that disappear before the coffee is poured. These low carb 3-ingredient salami Weatherby patties feel just like that sort of treasure, the kind Aunt Clara might have tucked into her apron pocket after finding it scribbled on an old index card at a late summer estate sale. With salty salami, rich cheese, and a simple egg to bind it all together, they bake up crisp around the edges and tender in the middle, making them a thrifty, old-fashioned snack that still fits right into today’s low carb table.
Serve these warm on a platter with dill pickles, celery sticks, olives, or a little dish of mustard for dipping. They also sit nicely beside a big green salad, a bowl of marinated cucumbers, or a tray of other small bites for game day, card night, or a church-basement style potluck spread at home.
Low Carb 3-Ingredient Salami Weatherby Patties
Servings: 6
Ingredients
8 ounces salami, finely chopped
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 large eggs
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet or shallow baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the finely chopped salami, shredded mozzarella, and eggs until the mixture is evenly combined.
3. Scoop the mixture into small mounds, about 2 tablespoons each, onto the prepared pan, then gently flatten them into little patties.
4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the patties are bubbly, golden on top, and browned around the edges.
5. Let the patties rest for 3 to 5 minutes so they firm up a bit, then transfer to a serving platter and serve warm.
Variations & Tips
Cheese swap: If you want a sharper bite, try part mozzarella and part cheddar or provolone. The patties will still hold together well, and the flavor turns a little heartier.
Crispier finish: For extra browned bottoms, bake the patties on a well-heated metal sheet pan instead of a stoneware pan. A few extra minutes of baking can help too, but watch closely so the cheese does not overbrown.
Make-ahead tip: You can mix and shape the patties a few hours ahead, cover the tray, and refrigerate it until baking time. That makes these especially handy for parties when you want something hot without last-minute fuss.
Serving idea: Set these out with pickle slices or pepperoncini for a nice tangy contrast. That little bit of sharpness balances the richness and keeps folks reaching for one more.
