Ingredients
Scale
- 12-pack Hawaiian rolls
- 6 oz deli ham, thinly sliced
- 5 oz salami, thinly sliced
- 5 oz pepperoni, thinly sliced
- 9 slices provolone cheese
- ⅓ cup peperoncini, sliced
- ⅓ cup pickled hot cherry peppers, sliced
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 cup marinara sauce (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
- Slice Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without separating them individually. Place the bottom half in the baking dish.
- Layer ham, salami, and pepperoni evenly on the bottom half of the rolls.
- Add a layer of provolone cheese, followed by sliced peperoncini and hot cherry peppers.
- Place the top half of the rolls over the ingredients.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Italian seasoning, and crushed garlic. Brush the mixture generously over the top of the rolls.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Let the sliders sit for a few minutes, then slice and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a milder version, use roasted red peppers instead of hot cherry peppers.
- Make ahead: Assemble the sliders, cover, and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
