The Best Italian Sliders Recipe

Sliders are always the first thing I think of when I’m hosting, especially during the holidays when things are hectic, and people are coming and going.

They’re one of those meals everyone loves, they’re straightforward to make, and they don’t break the bank. It is satisfying to making a couple of batches and just setting them out for everyone to help themselves.

This year, I made these Italian Sliders for an after-Christmas party, and they were such a hit I didn’t make enough! Everyone was raving, so I knew I had to grab more ingredients to make them again the next day.

Ingredients used in this recipe prepped out for straightforward assembly.

Ingredients

  • Hawaiian Rolls: Choose a soft package and keep the rolls together.
  • Provolone Cheese: Swap half with mozzarella if you like.
  • Ham, Salami, & Pepperoni: Use deli or pre-sliced meat, but make sure it’s thin.
  • Roasted Red Peppers (skippable): Dry them well to avoid soggy sliders.
  • Parmesan Cheese (skippable): Sprinkled on top for a golden, cheesy crust.
  • Butter Topping: Spread lots on top and sides for extra crunch on the Italian sliders recipe.

How To This Make Italian Sliders Recipe
