6 oz Ham Thinly sliced; provides a savory foundation; swap with turkey or chicken for a lighter option.

⅓ cup Pickled Hot Cherry Peppers Sliced; for added spice; omit for a milder flavor.

For the Flavor Boost

Method

Step-by-Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Arrange the bottom halves of the Kings Hawaiian Rolls on the baking sheet, ensuring they fit snugly together.
Layer the ham, salami, pepperoni, and slices of provolone cheese over the bottom halves of the rolls. Add sliced pepperoncini and hot cherry peppers.
Place the top halves of the rolls back on, ensuring everything is snugly put together.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Italian seasoning, and crushed garlic; brush over the tops of the sliders.
Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes until cheese is melted and tops are golden brown.
Remove foil, slice sliders into servings, and serve warm with marinara sauce.
