Slider Ingredients
- 12 pack rolls, halved lengthwise (Kings Hawaiian rolls recommended)
- 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
- 1/3 cup pepperoncini, sliced
- 1/3 cup pickled hot cherry peppers, sliced
Seasoned Butter
- 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed (fresh preferred)
Dipping Sauce
- 1 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Assemble Sliders: Lay the bottom halves of the rolls on a baking sheet or pan. Layer evenly with ham slices, then salami, followed by pepperoni, and a layer of provolone cheese. Top with sliced hot cherry peppers and pepperoncini. Place the top halves of the rolls on the assembled fillings.
- Prepare Seasoned Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with Italian seasoning and crushed garlic until well combined.
- Butter the Sliders: Brush the seasoned butter mixture evenly over the tops of the sliders, making sure to coat all the nooks and crannies for maximum flavor.
- Bake: Cover the sliders with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove from oven, slice the sliders apart, and serve hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Using Kings Hawaiian rolls adds a slight sweetness that complements the spicy peppers.
- Fresh garlic is preferred over jarred for the best flavor in the seasoned butter.
- Covering the sliders with foil ensures even melting of cheese without overbrowning the tops.
- Marinara sauce on the side adds a delicious tangy flavor that balances the richness of the meat and cheese.
- These sliders can be prepared ahead of time and baked before serving for convenience.
