Hot Italian Sliders

Last updated on August 6th, 2022

Packed with salami, pepperoni, prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato sauce, these tasty Italian sliders are an easy to make one-dish recipe.

Who doesn’t love sliders?

Hamburger and cheeseburger sliders are awesome — obviously — but sometimes it is nice to change things up.

These baked Italian sliders are a great option, as well as my Cuban sandwich sliders and chicken parm sliders.

Not only are these tasty sliders packed with flavor on the inside, but the buns are brushed with melted butter and Italian seasoning as well.

Italian sliders make a great appetizer, party food, game day snack, or quick and easy weeknight dinner option.

Bring on the Sliders!

Let these hot Italian sliders inspire you to create other flavor sliders.

You might try chicken parm sliders, Philly cheesesteak sliders, Reuben sliders, or even hot ham and cheese sliders.

The sky’s the limit!

Italian Slider Ingredients

You will notice that the recipe calls for mozzarella, but you could easily use provolone instead. If you are a cheese-lover like me you could even double up on the cheese and have both provolone and mozzarella. After all, can you really have too much cheese?

So grab some slider buns, sauce, and cold cuts and let’s get cookin’!

• 16 slices pepperoni
• 9 slices mozzarella (or provolone)

• 2 Tablespoons Italian dressing (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Cut slider buns in half crosswise through the middle to separate the tops from the bottoms. Place bottom halves in the baking dish.
3. Spread tomato sauce onto buns and sprinkle with 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Add layers of salami, prosciutto, pepperoni, and cheese. Then, add the top halves of slider buns.
4. Melt butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining Italian seasoning and Italian salad dressing (if using). Brush on top of buns.
5. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake 20-30 minutes, until cheese begins to melt and the butter absorbs into rolls.
6. Slice into individual sandwiches and serve.
