Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch square baking dish with oil.

Transfer mixture to a medium bowl. Using a fork, mix in softened cream cheese, salami and shredded cheese mixture.
Spread mixture into prepared dish. Refrigerate until ready to bake – recipe can be made a day in advance.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
