Description

Warm, cheesy Italian-style sliders baked on soft rolls with deli ham, salami, provolone, red onion, pepperoncini, and marinara, finished with a buttery parmesan topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 connected soft slider rolls
  • 8 ounces deli ham
  • 6 ounces salami
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini rings, drained
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • Nonstick cooking spray, as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and grated parmesan cheese.
  3. Slice the connected slider rolls horizontally as one slab and place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the bottom buns.
  5. Layer the deli ham, salami, provolone cheese, red onion slices, and pepperoncini rings over the sauce.
  6. Place the top half of the rolls over the filling.
  7. Brush or spoon the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the buns.
  8. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes more, until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
  10. Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a light hand with the marinara sauce so the bottom buns stay soft, not soggy.
  • Drain the pepperoncini well before adding them to the sliders.
  • You can assemble the sliders up to 8 hours ahead and refrigerate before baking.
  • Reheat leftovers covered in a 325°F oven for the best texture.
