Slider Ingredients
- 12 pack rolls, halved lengthwise (Kings Hawaiian 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
- ⅓ cup pepperoncini, sliced
- ⅓ cup pickled hot cherry peppers, sliced
Seasoned Butter
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed (fresh recommended)
Optional to Serve
- 1 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Assemble Sliders: Lay the bottom halves of the rolls on a baking sheet. Layer ham, then salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese on the rolls. Add sliced hot cherry peppers and pepperoncini on top, then place the roll tops back on.
- Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, Italian seasoning, and crushed garlic. Stir well to blend the flavors together.
- Brush Sliders: Generously brush the seasoned butter mixture over the tops of the slider buns, ensuring it penetrates all the nooks and crannies for maximum flavor.
- Bake: Cover the sliders tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the foil and carefully slice the sliders. Serve hot, optionally with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Using fresh garlic instead of jarred enhances the flavor of the butter mixture.
- Kings Hawaiian rolls provide a sweet, soft bread base that complements the savory meats.
- If you prefer less heat, reduce or omit the pickled hot cherry peppers.
- Covering with foil during baking prevents the sliders from drying out while allowing even heating.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
