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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Cut the slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Spread a generous layer of the prepared olive salad over the bottom halves of the buns.

Step 5

Layer the Genoa salami, mortadella, capicola, provolone cheese, and mozzarella cheese evenly across the buns.

Step 6

Place the top halves of the slider buns on top to assemble the sandwiches.

Step 7

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Brush the melted butter over the top of the buns.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and cut into individual sliders (if not already portioned).

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
