Top the meats with slices of provolone cheese.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Slice all meats thinly and evenly so they lay flat and cook through in the oven without drying out.
Mix the mayo topping (mayo, minced garlic, parsley) while sliders bake so it's fresh and creamy when applied.
Brush the garlic butter directly on the roll tops before baking to ensure even browning and a flavorful crust.
Tent with foil if the tops brown too quickly; this prevents burnt edges while cheese melts inside.

Substitutions

Provolone → fresh mozzarella or Italian blend cheese (milder, less sharp flavor)
Hawaiian rolls → ciabatta rolls or slider buns (firmer structure, less sweetness)
Salami + pepperoni → ham or capicola (leaner, different Italian profile)
Mayonnaise → Greek yogurt (tangier, lighter base for the grinder salad)
