How to Make Hot Italian Sub Sliders – Step by Step

Step 1: Prepare the Rolls

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bottom halves of the slider rolls in a greased baking dish. Spread mayonnaise evenly over the rolls if using.

Step 2: Layer the Fillings

Layer provolone cheese, ham, salami, pepperoni, and banana peppers evenly over the rolls. Place remaining provolone slices on top and cover with the top halves of the rolls.

Step 3: Add Butter Topping

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Brush evenly over the tops of the sliders.

Step 4: Bake

Cover loosely with foil and bake for 12 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 3–6 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.

Step 5: Serve

Remove from oven, slice into individual sliders, and serve warm.

Tips and Variations

• Add sliced tomatoes after baking for freshness
• Use mozzarella instead of provolone if preferred
