Ingredients
Scale
Rolls
- 12 pack rolls
Meats
- 6 oz ham
- 5 oz salami
- 5 oz pepperoni
Cheese and Peppers
- 9 slices provolone cheese
- â…“ cup pepperoncini
- â…“ cup pickled hot cherry peppers
Butter Mixture
- ¼ cup salted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking your sliders and achieving the ideal golden crust.
- Assemble the sliders: Slice the rolls open and layer the bottom halves on a baking sheet. Add slices of ham, salami, and pepperoni evenly across the rolls, then top with provolone cheese slices. Distribute pepperoncini and pickled hot cherry peppers on top for a zesty, spicy touch.
- Prepare the butter topping: In a small bowl, combine melted salted butter with Italian seasoning and crushed garlic. Stir well to create a flavorful butter blend.
- Brush the sliders: Generously brush the butter mixture over the top halves of the rolls, ensuring they are fully coated to impart rich flavor and help with browning.
- Cover and bake: Cover the assembled sliders with aluminum foil to retain moisture. Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for about 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Serve: Remove foil and slice the sliders individually. Enjoy warm for the best melt-in-your-mouth experience enhanced by aromatic garlic and spicy peppers.
Notes
- You can substitute any Italian cold cuts to suit your taste.
- Adjust the quantity of peppers if you prefer a milder or hotter flavor.
- For extra crispiness, uncover the sliders during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven for best results.
