Ingredients

Scale

Slider Buns

  • 12 slider buns

Italian Meats

  • 6 oz sliced salami
  • 6 oz sliced pepperoni
  • 6 oz sliced capicola or ham

Cheese

  • 12 oz sliced provolone cheese

Marinara Sauce

  • 1 cup marinara sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
  2. Prepare Slider Buns: Slice the slider buns horizontally, creating a top and bottom half but keeping them connected if preferred for easier assembly.
  3. Layer Italian Meats: Evenly distribute the salami, pepperoni, and capicola (or ham) over the bottom halves of the slider buns.
  4. Add Cheese: Place slices of provolone cheese evenly over the meats to ensure each slider gets a good melt.
  5. Top with Marinara: Spoon the marinara sauce generously over the cheese layer for a flavorful, saucy finish.
  6. Assemble Sliders: Carefully place the top halves of the slider buns over the assembled ingredients to form complete sandwiches.
  7. Bake to Melt: Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the buns are slightly toasted.
  8. Serve Immediately: Remove from the oven and serve the hot sliders right away for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute Italian meats based on preference such as prosciutto or italian sausage slices.
  • For extra spicy flavor, add sliced jalapeños or pepperoncini on top before baking.
  • Using freshly baked slider buns enhances the overall texture and flavor.
  • These sliders can be prepared in advance and baked just before serving to save time.
  • Serve with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
