Equipment
- Baking pan
- pastry brush
- Small mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 12 pack rolls, halved lengthwise I recommend Kings Hawaiian rolls
- 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
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed I recommend fresh over jarred.
To Serve (optional)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lay the bottom half of the rolls on a baking sheet or pan. Layer on slices of ham, then top with salami, a layer of pepperoni and a layer of provolone. Then layer on sliced hot cherry peppers and sliced peperoncini. Replace the top bun and set aside. In a small bowl combine melted butter with Italian seasoning and crushed garlic. Mix to combine. Then brush the seasoned butter mixture over the top of the sliders, being sure to coat all the nooks and crannies.
- Cover the sliders with foil then bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven then slice and enjoy! *I recommend serving with a side of your favorite marinara sauce for dipping.*

Notes
Make ahead: Assemble the sliders up to 24 hours in advance, leaving off the garlic butter topping. Cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to bake. Brush with the melted butter mixture just before baking. You may need to add an extra 5–10 minutes to the baking time if the sliders are cold from the refrigerator.
Storage: Store leftover Italian sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. For the best texture, wrap them tightly in foil to help prevent the bread from drying out.
Freezing: Allow baked sliders to cool completely, then wrap individually or in portions with plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 2 months for best quality. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheating: Reheat leftover sliders in a 350°F oven for approximately 10–15 minutes, or until heated through. Cover loosely with foil to prevent the tops from browning too much. You can also reheat individual sliders in an air fryer at 325°F for 3–5 minutes.
Baking tips: Keep the sliders covered with foil while baking to prevent the tops from browning too quickly. Oven temperatures and baking pans can vary, so check the bottoms toward the end of baking, especially if you're using a dark metal pan.
