Ingredients
For the Base
- 12 pack 12 pack rolls, halved lengthwise (I recommend Kings Hawaiian rolls)

- 5 oz 5 oz package of salami, thinly sliced
- 5 oz 5 oz package of pepperoni, thinly sliced
- 9 slices 9 slices provolone cheese
- 1/3 cup 1/3 cup pepperoncini, sliced
- 1/3 cup 1/3 cup pickled hot cherry peppers, sliced
For the Sauce
- 1/4 cup 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
- 1 tsp 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 cloves 2 cloves garlic, crushed (I recommend fresh over jarred)
To Serve
- 1 cup 1 cup marinara sauce For dipping
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lay the bottom half of the rolls on a baking sheet. Start layering the meats: ham first, followed by salami, pepperoni, and then provolone cheese. Top with sliced hot cherry peppers and pepperoncini. Place the top half of the buns back on.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with Italian seasoning and crushed garlic. Mix well.
- Use a pastry brush to spread the seasoned butter mixture over the tops of the sliders.
Baking
- Cover the assembled sliders with foil and bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the foil in the last 5 minutes.
Serving
- Once done, take them out of the oven, slice, and serve immediately with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
For a healthier option, you can use whole grain or low-calorie slider rolls. Feel free to switch the meats or cheeses to fit your preference.
