Italian Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls | Quick, Cheesy & Crowd-Pleasing

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

Italian sausage

🥗Healthier: chicken sausage

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Chicken sausage reduces fat while still providing flavor.

Split the Kings Hawaiian rolls in half, leaving more heft on the bottom than the top.

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup of mayo with 2 tablespoons of pesto.

Spread the pesto mayo on the bottom side of the rolls.

Layer sliced ham on top of the mayo.

Add Genoa salami and provolone cheese on top of the ham.

Add pepperoncinis to the layers.

Grate garlic on a microplane into a bowl with 1/4 cup of melted butter and 1 teaspoon of Cattleman's Italiano seasoning; mix well.

Brush the garlic butter mixture over the top of the assembled sliders.

Preheat the Yoder smoker's wood-fired oven to 375°F.

Place the assembled sliders into a preheated cast iron skillet.

Cook for about 6 minutes, then spin the skillet for even browning.

Continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the top is browned, about a couple more minutes.

Remove from the oven and let the sliders rest for a few minutes before slicing.
