Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 Mini Hawaiian Rolls (King’s Hawaiian brand recommended)
  • 1 cup Olive Salad (homemade or store-bought; mix of chopped green and black olives, pickled vegetables, capers, olive oil)
  • 4 oz sliced salami
  • 4 oz sliced capicola
  • 4 oz sliced ham
  • 6 slices provolone cheese, cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Optional: Pickled jalapeños or banana peppers for extra heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally in one piece to keep them together. Place the bottom halves in a 9×13-inch baking dish, forming a solid layer.
  3. Spread about 1 cup of olive salad evenly over the bottom halves.
  4. Layer the sliced cured meats over the olive salad, starting with ham, then capicola, then salami.
  5. Cut the provolone cheese slices in half and arrange evenly over the meats.
  6. Place the top halves of the rolls over the cheese, pressing down gently to compact the sliders slightly.
  7. Mix the softened butter with garlic powder and dried oregano in a small bowl until well combined.
  8. Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls.
  9. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to keep the sliders moist.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown. Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes if you want a crispier top.
  11. Remove from the oven and let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual portions.

Notes

Use slightly day-old Hawaiian rolls to prevent compression during baking. Drain olive salad if too wet to avoid soggy rolls. Press sliders gently before baking to keep fillings intact. Remove foil in last 5 minutes for crispier tops. Reheat leftovers in oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes covered with foil; avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
