Instructions
Prepare the Sliders:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms together. Place the bottom halves of the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
- Layer the Ingredients: Layer the salami, pepperoni, and ham evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Spread a generous amount of marinara sauce over the meats, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Top the Sliders: Place the top halves of the rolls on top of the cheese.
Bake the Sliders:
- Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, oregano, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the slider rolls.
- Bake the Sliders: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese has melted.
Serve:
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Slice the sliders along the roll lines and serve immediately, preferably with a side of extra marinara sauce for dipping.
