Ingredients
Scale
Sliders
- 12 pack rolls, halved lengthwise (I recommend Kings Hawaiian rolls)
- 6 oz package of ham, thinly sliced
- 5 oz package of salami, thinly sliced
- 5 oz package of pepperoni, thinly sliced
- 9 slices provolone cheese
- ⅓ cup pepperoncini, sliced
- ⅓ cup pickled hot cherry peppers, sliced
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed (fresh preferred)
To Serve (optional)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Assemble Sliders: Lay the bottom halves of the rolls on a baking sheet or pan. Layer slices of ham, salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese on top. Then add sliced hot cherry peppers and pepperoncini. Place the top halves of the rolls over the fillings.
- Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted salted butter with Italian seasoning and crushed garlic. Mix well to infuse the flavors.
- Brush Sliders: Brush the seasoned butter mixture generously over the tops of the sliders, making sure to coat all surfaces including the edges.
- Bake Covered: Cover the sliders tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, slice the sliders apart, and serve hot. Optionally, offer marinara sauce on the side for dipping for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for a more pronounced flavor instead of jarred garlic.
- Hawaiian rolls add a sweet contrast complementing the savory meats and spicy peppers.
- For a milder version, omit the hot cherry peppers and pepperoncini.
- Sliders can be assembled a few hours ahead and refrigerated until ready to bake.
- Marinara sauce is optional but highly recommended for dipping and added moisture.
