Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the slider buns: Slice the buns in half horizontally and lay the bottom halves on the baking sheet.
Layer the meats and cheese: Start with a slice of cheese on the bottom half, add layers of salami, ham, and pepperoni, then top with another slice of cheese. Repeat for all sliders.
Add the toppings: If using, add a small amount of lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, and red onion on top of the cheese.
Prepare the bun tops: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and/or Italian dressing on the inside of the top halves of the buns. Place them on top of the sliders.
Bake: Cover the sliders with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Remove the foil, brush the tops with melted butter mixed with Italian seasoning, and bake for another 3-5 minutes until golden.
Serve: Let the sliders cool slightly, then cut them into individual servings and enjoy!
