These savory muffuletta sliders pack bold flavors of olive salad, cured meats, and provolone cheese into soft slider rolls, perfect for quick dinners or parties. Inspired by New Orleans, they offer a flavorful, fuss-free bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 soft slider rolls (mini Kaiser, brioche, or King’s Hawaiian)
  • Olive Salad:
  • – Green olives, pitted and chopped (small, firm olives preferred)
  • – Black olives, pitted and chopped
  • – Pickled vegetables such as giardiniera or chopped pepperoncini
  • – Capers, rinsed
  • – Fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • – 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • – 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • – Garlic, minced
  • – Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Cured Meats:
  • – Genoa salami, thinly sliced
  • – Mortadella or ham, thinly sliced
  • – Capicola (optional)
  • Provolone cheese slices (sharp or mild)
  • Dijon mustard
  • Butter, unsalted and softened (for toasting slider tops)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the olive salad: In a medium bowl, combine chopped green and black olives, pickled vegetables, capers, and parsley. Add minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside to let flavors meld.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  3. Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves together for easier assembly.
  4. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the bottom halves of the rolls.
  5. Layer the meats: place slices of Genoa salami, mortadella or ham, and capicola if using, evenly over the mustard.
  6. Add a generous spoonful of olive salad on top of the meats.
  7. Top with a slice of provolone cheese covering the olive salad.
  8. Place the top halves of the rolls back on and brush the tops lightly with softened butter.
  9. Cover the assembled sliders with foil and bake for 15 minutes until cheese melts and rolls are warmed through.
  10. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to toast the tops slightly, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  11. Let sliders cool for a few minutes before slicing apart if baked as a whole tray. Serve warm.

Notes

Olive salad can be made 1-2 days ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before use. For gluten-free, use gluten-free slider buns or lettuce wraps. For vegetarian, substitute meats with grilled vegetables and add extra cheese. Avoid microwaving leftovers to prevent soggy rolls; reheat in oven covered with foil.
