Ingredients

12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls split in half horizontally
12 slice deli ham
12 slice salami
12 slice pepperoni
12 slice provolone cheese
1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
1 tbsp olive oil
2 clove garlic minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese grated
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

9x13-inch baking dish
small mixing bowl
whisk
pastry brush
aluminum foil
oven

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, Parmesan, parsley, red pepper flakes if using, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the bottom halves of the slider buns in the prepared baking dish.
Layer each bun with ham, salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese, dividing the ingredients evenly among the sliders.
Place the top halves of the buns over the fillings.
Brush or drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the sliders, making sure to cover each one.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for 5 to 8 minutes more, until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
Let the sliders cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, use a mix of Hawaiian rolls and Italian deli meats, and serve the sliders warm right out of the oven. If you prefer less heat, omit the red pepper flakes.
