Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package Hawaiian rolls (12-count, such as King’s Hawaiian)
- 8–10 slices deli ham
- 12 slices salami
- 20–24 slices pepperoni
- 6–8 slices provolone cheese
- ¼ cup sliced hot cherry peppers (drained)
- ¼ cup sliced pepperoncini (drained)
Garlic Butter Topping:
- ½ cup salted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Optional:
- Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom half on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.
- Layer ham evenly over the rolls, followed by salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese.
- Add sliced hot cherry peppers and pepperoncini evenly across the top.
- Place the top half of the rolls back on.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls, coating all edges.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes, until cheese is melted and tops are golden.
- Remove from oven, slice into individual sliders, and serve warm with marinara sauce if desired.
Notes
- Drain peppers well to prevent soggy bottoms.
- For extra browning, remove foil during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking.
- Mozzarella, havarti, or mild white cheddar can be substituted for provolone.
- Heat level can be adjusted by using mild or hot pepperoncini.
