Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Sliders
- 12 rolls Hawaiian Rolls (Can substitute with any small sandwich rolls.)
- 6 oz Sliced Genoa Salami (Other types of cured salami can be substituted.)
- 3 oz Sliced Pepperoni (Optional, can omit for a milder option.)
- 6 oz Cotta Salami (Offers a creamy texture.)
- 1 cup Sliced Banana Peppers (Choose mild or hot based on preference.)
- 6 oz Sliced Provolone (Mozzarella is a great alternative.)
Topping and Seasoning
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil (Enhances flavor and moisture.)
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder (Infuses savory depth.)
- 1 tbsp Dried Italian Seasoning
- Salt and Pepper to taste (Essential for seasoning.)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the sliders evenly.
- Prepare Rolls: Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom halves evenly in a baking dish, creating a base layer for the fillings.
- Layer Ingredients: Layer the Genoa salami, pepperoni, cotta salami, sliced banana peppers, and provolone cheese evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls, spreading flavors consistently.
- Top the Sliders: Place the top halves of the Hawaiian rolls over the layered fillings and gently press down to compact the sliders slightly.
- Season and Brush: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning. Brush this flavorful mixture generously over the tops of the rolls to enhance taste and create a golden crust.
- Bake the Sliders: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted thoroughly and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from oven, slice into individual sliders along the pre-cut lines, and serve warm to enjoy the melty, savory goodness perfect for any game day or party.
Notes
- You can omit the pepperoni for a milder flavor or substitute other cured meats based on preference.
- Banana peppers can be adjusted between mild or hot to suit your spice tolerance.
- Substitute provolone with mozzarella cheese for a milder cheese option.
- Brush the tops thoroughly with the olive oil mixture to ensure a flavorful and golden crust.
- Sliders can be assembled a few hours ahead and refrigerated before baking; just increase bake time slightly.
- Serve with a side of marinara or Italian dressing for dipping to add extra flavor.
