Description
These Muffuletta Sliders are a miniature celebration of flavors. The combination of cured meats and provolone offers a savory base, while the olive salad adds a zesty, slightly tangy punch that balances the richness. Perfectly toasted and buttery, these sliders are visually appealing and irresistibly tasty.
Tips
- Use fresh, soft slider rolls for the best texture.
- If you like extra flavor, add a little Dijon mustard to the olive salad.
- Make the sliders ahead of time and bake just before serving to save time during gatherings.
- For a spicier version, use pepperoncini or spicy giardiniera in your olive salad.
Correction
Ensure you evenly layer the meats and cheese so each slider has a balanced bite. Avoid overfilling, which can make the sliders difficult to handle and eat.
