Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces slider buns
- 0.5 cup green olives (pitted and chopped)
- 0.5 cup black olives (pitted and chopped)
- 0.5 cup giardiniera (Italian pickled vegetable mix, chopped)
- 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 6 ounces thinly sliced Genoa salami
- 6 ounces thinly sliced mortadella
- 6 ounces thinly sliced capicola
- 6 ounces provolone cheese slices
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, combine the green olives, black olives, chopped giardiniera, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. Stir well to create the olive salad and set it aside.
Cut the slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves on a baking sheet.
Spread a generous layer of the prepared olive salad over the bottom halves of the buns.
Layer the Genoa salami, mortadella, capicola, provolone cheese, and mozzarella cheese evenly across the buns.
Place the top halves of the slider buns on top to assemble the sandwiches.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Brush the melted butter over the top of the buns.
Cover the sandwiches loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the buns are warm.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and cut into individual sliders (if not already portioned).
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
