Ingredients
  

For the Sliders
  • 12 pack soft rolls, halved lengthwise (Kings Hawaiian-style preferred) You can substitute with small hoagie rolls or slider buns.
  • 6 oz ham, thinly sliced
  • 5 oz salami, thinly sliced
  • 5 oz pepperoni, thinly sliced
  • 9 slices provolone cheese Can substitute with mozzarella or fontina for milder flavor.
  • 1/3 cup pepperoncini, sliced
  • 1/3 cup pickled hot cherry peppers, sliced Reduce or omit for less heat.
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, melted Use fresh garlic for best flavor.
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed Fresh is preferred, jarred can be used in a pinch.
  • 1 cup marinara sauce for dipping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Lay the bottom halves of the rolls evenly on a baking sheet or shallow pan.
  3. Layer the ham across the rolls so each slider gets an even portion.
  4. Add the salami, then a layer of pepperoni, ensuring slices overlap slightly.
  5. Place provolone slices over the meats, tearing slices if needed to cover all sliders.
  6. Scatter sliced pepperoncini and hot cherry peppers on top of the cheese, adjusting the quantity to control heat.
  7. Replace the top bun piece and press lightly to compact the sliders. Set the tray aside.
  8. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Italian seasoning, and crushed garlic. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  9. Brush the seasoned butter over the tops of the buns.
Baking
  1. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
  2. For a crispier top, remove foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Let rest for 2-3 minutes, slice between the rolls, and serve with warm marinara for dipping.
