Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and arrange the bottom half on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Layer ham, salami, and pepperoni on the bottom half, followed by provolone cheese, pepperoncini, and hot cherry peppers.
  4. Place the top half of the rolls back on, pressing down gently to secure the ingredients.
  5. Melt the salted butter and mix in Italian seasoning and crushed garlic until combined.
  6. Brush the garlic butter mixture over the top of the sliders. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven, uncover, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm, ideally with marinara sauce for dipping.
