Lay the bottom half of the rolls on a baking sheet or pan. Layer on slices of ham, then top with salami, a layer of pepperoni and a layer of provolone. Then layer on sliced hot cherry peppers and sliced peperoncini. Replace the top bun and set aside. In a small bowl combine melted butter with Italian seasoning and crushed garlic. Mix to combine. Then brush the seasoned butter mixture over the top of the sliders, being sure to coat all the nooks and crannies.
