Muffuletta Sliders

Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Servings: 12 sliders

Ingredients

For the Quick Olive Salad (optional):

  • 3/4 cup pimento-stuffed green olives, drained
  • 1/2 cup mild Italian giardiniera, drained
  • 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, drained
  • 1/4 cup pepperoncini, drained
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

For the Sliders:

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 package Hawaiian rolls (12-count)
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 8 slices capicola
  • 10 slices Genoa salami
  • 8 slices mortadella
  • 1 cup homemade or store-bought olive salad
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Add all of the olive salad ingredients to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped and well combined. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Slice the rolls in half horizontally, keeping them intact. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
  • Add the provolone in an even layer. Top with the capicola, salami, and mortadella. Using a slotted spoon to drain excess liquid, spoon the muffuletta olive salad evenly over the meats.
  • Place the top half of the rolls over the filling. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and slightly crisp.
  • Let cool slightly, then transfer to a cutting board and slice into individual sliders. Serve warm.
