Ingredients
  

  • 12 count Hawaiian sweet rolls Do not separate the rolls.
  • 6 slices Provolone cheese
  • 4 ounces Genoa salami thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces Pepperoni thinly sliced
  • 3 ounces Prosciutto thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers drained and patted dry
  • 1/2 cup salted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • 1 Serrated knife
  • 1 Small Bowl
  • 1 Pastry Brush

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Without separating the rolls, use a large serrated knife to slice the slab of rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Layer half of the provolone slices over the bottom rolls. Top with the Genoa salami, pepperoni, and prosciutto. Evenly distribute the pepperoncini rings over the meat, then finish with the remaining provolone slices. Place the top half of the rolls on.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  4. Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  5. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Let cool for a few minutes before cutting and serving warm.

Notes

Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble the sliders completely but do not add the butter topping. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Prepare and add the topping just before baking.
Storage Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
