  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sliders (serves approximately 12)

Ingredients

Slider Ingredients

  • 12 pack slider rolls, halved lengthwise (recommend Kings Hawaiian rolls)
  • 5 oz salami, thinly sliced
  • 5 oz 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)

For Serving

  • 1 cup marinara sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the sliders evenly.
  2. Assemble the Sliders: Place the bottom halves of the rolls on a baking sheet. Layer with slices of salami, then pepperoni, followed by a layer of provolone cheese. Add sliced hot cherry peppers and peperoncini on top. Finish by placing the roll tops back on.
  3. Prepare Garlic Italian Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, Italian seasoning, and crushed fresh garlic. Mix thoroughly to infuse the flavors together.
  4. Brush the Sliders: Generously brush the garlic Italian butter over the top of each sandwich, making sure to coat all the nooks and crannies for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake Covered: Cover the entire baking sheet with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, until the rolls turn golden brown and the cheese melts perfectly.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven, slice the sliders as desired, and serve hot with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Using fresh garlic instead of jarred enhances the flavor significantly.
  • Kings Hawaiian rolls are recommended for their soft texture and slightly sweet flavor, which balances the spicy and savory fillings.
  • Covering the sliders with foil during baking helps to keep them moist and ensures the cheese melts evenly.
  • Serve immediately after baking for the best texture and taste.
  • For a milder version, reduce or omit the hot cherry peppers and pepperoncini.
