Chopped Italian Sliders

Chopped Italian Sliders, this is my take on the viral chopped Italian sandwich trend.

It was the first chance I’ve had to test drive my new ZWILLING DRAGON 5 Piece Knife block set, so why not chop everything! 

Lettuce, onion, jalapeños, pickles, mortadella, salami, pepperoni, provolone on brioche buns brushed with garlic butter.

Not only were these really tasty, but they were also a lot of fun to make too! Loving the new knives.

These sliders are perfect for gatherings, game day, casual dinners or whenever the craving hits!

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F

Make the Garlic butter

Place the chopped garlic and parsley in a small bowl and mix. Add the cubes of butter and mix to combine. If the butter is too cold to mix, warm it up slightly in the microwave.

Toss the Salad

In a medium sized bowl, add the chopped lettuce, onions, jalapeños, and pickles and mix. Next add salad dressing ingredients and stir to combine. Set aside.

Toast the Bottom buns

Place the bottom buns on a sheet pan and liberally coat the cut end with mayonnaise. Place in the oven to toast for 5 minutes or until golden brown.

Heat the Deli Meats

While the buns are toasting, place the chopped meat in a large nonstick skillet on medium-low. Stirring occasionally, heat for 3-5 minutes until warmed through.

Build the Sliders

Place the provolone slices on the bottom buns. Place back into the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese starts to melt.

Next layer the meat evenly over the cheese.

Add the top buns over the meat and brush with the garlic butter mixture. Place back into the oven until the butter melts and the buns are golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Carefully remove the top buns (they will be hot). Drain any excess liquid from the salad mixture, and evenly spoon over the meat. Close the sliders with the top buns and slice to separate.

Serve as is or with hot sauce and mustard, optional.
