Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package Kings Hawaiian Rolls
- 6 slices Capicola (ham)
- 9 slices Genoa Salami
- 6 slices Mortadella
- 6 slices Mozzarella
- 6 slices Provolone
- 2 tsp. Melted Butter
- 2 tsp. Sesame Seeds
- 1/2 cup Green Olives (for olive salad)
- 1/4 cup Black Olives (for olive salad)
- 1/4 cup Kalamata Olives (for olive salad)
- 1/2 cup Italian Giardineria (for olive salad)
- 1/4 cup Pepperocinis (for olive salad)
- 1 tbsp. Capers (for olive salad)
- 3 cloves Garlic (for olive salad)
- 2 tsp. Italian Seasoning (for olive salad)
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil (for olive salad)
- 2 tsp. Red Wine Vinegar (for olive salad)
Instructions
- Preheat an oven or grill to 350 F if you plan to serve them hot. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine all olive salad ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture reaches a relish-like texture. Set aside.
- Remove the Hawaiian rolls from the packaging. Slice them in half horizontally, keeping the buns attached. Place the bottom buns onto the lined baking sheet.
- Spoon a small amount of the olive oil from the olive salad mixture onto the bottom bread layer to lightly season the base.
- Layer the deli meats: place the capicola, then the Genoa salami, and then the mortadella over the bottom bread. Top the meat with the mozzarella and then the provolone cheese.
- If serving hot, bake the sliders uncovered with the cheese layer open-face for 12-15 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Scoop the olive salad and spread a thick, even layer over the melted cheese and meat.
- Place the top buns back onto the sliders. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Return the sliders to the oven for an additional 5 minutes. Remove, cool slightly, then slice and serve.
- If serving cold, brush the top with melted butter and sesame seeds after layering the meat and cheese. Press the top bun down firmly. Let the assembled sandwich sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For storage, wrap extra sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
