Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Take the slab of Hawaiian rolls and slice them in half horizontally, keeping all the rolls connected. Place the bottom half on a baking sheet.
3
Layer the provolone cheese over the bottom rolls, followed by the pepperoni, salami, and ham.
4
Top the meats with the thinly sliced red onion and chopped pepperoncini.
5
Add a final layer of mozzarella cheese and place the top half of the rolls back on.
6
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the Italian seasoning.
7
Brush the seasoned butter mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls.
8
Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
9
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese. Slice into individual sliders and serve warm, with marinara sauce for dipping if desired.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Layer meats and cheeses evenly across all rolls to ensure every slider is balanced in flavor and texture.
Brush the butter mixture between and on top of the rolls for even browning and golden crusts.
Use a sharp knife to slice the rolls horizontally without separating them completely—keep the roll connected at the base for easier assembly.
Watch for cheese melt and golden edges as your doneness cue; don't overbake or the rolls will dry out.

Substitutions

Provolone → fontina or asiago cheese (same melting quality, slightly different flavor)
Hawaiian sweet rolls → ciabatta rolls or brioche buns (less sweetness, firmer texture)
Pepperoncini → hot banana peppers or roasted red peppers (heat or sweetness level varies)
Pepperoni + salami + ham → 3/4 lb mortadella or Italian cold-cut mix (simplifies layering)
