Equipment

  • Sheet Pan These USA stainless steel sheet pans are great for one-pan meals!
  • Sauce Brush Ideal for topping sliders with the melted butter, this brush is also great for various other sauces.
  • Serrated Bread Knife This serrated bread knife is great for slicing through breads, sandwiches and so much more!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (12-roll pack) Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
  • 1/4 cup pesto sauce
  • 4 oz. Capocolla ham thinly sliced
  • 4 oz. Pepperoni sliced
  • 4 oz. Hard salami sliced
  • 6 slices Provolone cheese sliced
  • 1/4 cup jarred roasted red peppers sliced
  • 1/4 cup jarred yellow banana peppers sliced

Slider Toppings:

  • 2 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced (can use jarred minced garlic)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Remove the Hawaiian rolls from the packaging. Slice the rolls horizontally with a bread knife. (No need to separate the rolls individually. The assembly works much better when there is a single piece of bottom bread and top bread.) Set aside the top portion of the bread.
  • Place the bottom portion of the bread onto the lined pan. Spoon on the pesto sauce and spread it evenly over the bread with a spoon. Add on the invididual slices of the Capocolla ham into an even layer over the pesto sauce. Do the same with all of the pepperoni slices. Layer on the slices of salami over the top of the pepperoni. Add on the slices of cheese. Sprinkle the yellow and red peppers in an even layer over the top of the cheese.
  • Bake the bottom portion of the bread with the meats, cheese and peppers for 8-10 minutes.
  • While the meat and cheese bake, mix together the topping. In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for approximately 30 seconds. Stir in the garlic and Italian seasoning.
  • Remove the bottom portion of the sliders from the oven. Place the top portion of the slider rolls over the top of the hot meats and cheese. Brush the tops of the slider rolls with the melted butter mixture using a sauce brush. Sprinkle the tops of the buttered rolls with the Parmesan Cheese.
  • Bake the sliders for an additional 3-5 minutes to toast the top of the bread.
  • Serve the sliders while still warm. Enjoy with additional pesto sauce for dipping, if desired.
