Ingredients

• 12 pieces slider buns
• 6 slices sliced provolone cheese
• 12 slices sliced salami
• 12 slices sliced pepperoni
• 12 slices sliced ham
• 6 slices sliced mozzarella cheese
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cups mayonnaise
• 0.25 cups pesto sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves attached as a group. Place the bottom halves on a 9x13-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise and pesto sauce. Spread the mixture evenly over the cut side of the bottom half of the buns.

Step 4

Layer the provolone cheese, salami, pepperoni, ham, and mozzarella cheese evenly over the pesto-mayo spread.

Step 5

Place the top halves of the slider buns on top of the layered meats and cheese.

Step 6

Melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish. Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese until well blended.

Step 7

Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the slider buns.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Remove the foil and continue baking for another 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the sliders cool for 5 minutes. Slice the sliders apart and serve warm. Enjoy!
