These Italian Sliders are loaded with deli meat, melty cheese, and peppers and then topped with a garlic butter sauce that everyone will love!
These Italian Sliders are the ultimate crowd-pleasing sandwich recipe, layered with savory deli meats, melty provolone cheese, and soft Hawaiian rolls brushed with a buttery Italian seasoning topping. Baked until golden and gooey, they’re packed with bold Italian flavor in every bite.
I love making sliders because they can feed a whole crowd or even give you meals for multiple nights, which is always a win. For more flavorful slider recipes you have to check out my Ham and Swiss Sliders, and Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Sliders.

Variations
Veggies – If you are wanting different veggies on these little sliders I recommend banana peppers, red onions, or even shredded lettuce. However, I would add the lettuce after the slider bake.
Cheese – Other cheese options for these sliders would be mozzarella cheese, Monterey jack, Swiss, or even Havarti.
How to Make Italian Sliders
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2: Cut your Hawaiian rolls in half lengthwise and place the bottom half of the rolls on a baking dish or sheet pan.
Step 3: Next, layer on the ham, salami, and pepperoni one at a time. Note: all of the meats will have two layers.
Step 4: Then layer the provolone cheese on top of the pepperoni.
Step 5: Next, layer on the pepperoncini and cherry peppers in one layer.
Step 6: Add the top buns and set aside.
Step 7: In a small bowl melt the butter, add in the Italian seasoning and minced garlic and stir until combined.
Step 8: Then brush the melted butter mixture over the tops of the buns, be sure to get all the nooks and crannies.
Step 9: Next, bake in the oven for 15-20 mins until golden brown, then serve and enjoy!
