Whether you are feeding a crowd and need a filling, bite-sized app that everyone will love or you need a quick family favorite meal idea, these Italian slider sandwiches are the perfect savory solution.
These mini sub sandwiches are built from keto rolls and loaded with a rich blend of Asiago cheese, ham, salami, melted provolone, and complemented by a briny muffuletta olive spread. Before baking, the bite-sized low carb sandwiches are topped with a buttery, tangy mixture of Dijon mustard, minced onion, Worcestershire and poppy seeds. This forms a crunchy, toasted top with a juicy butter soaked bottom. Better get a few napkins!
If you are starting to think that these slider sandwiches sound just like the popular ham & cheese sliders made from Hawaiian rolls, you are right! These keto sandwiches have an Italian twist.

These sliders turned out great for our Sunday lunch. I used black sesame seeds instead of poppy and they still came out delicious. Loved the muffuletta spread combo with the provolone.
These turned out great for my weekend lunch prep. I used hot dog buns from the store and swapped in black sesame seeds since I had them on hand. They heated up well the next day too.
Made these sliders for a quick lunch and they turned out delicious. Loved the combination of Asiago and provolone. Even better the next day after reheating.
Oh Annie,
I am eating a portion or 2 right now and it is fabulous darling.
4 months ago, I was told by my service provider my cholesterol was way high and needed to omit fat. I did omit all keto bread and tortillas… I went to the doc last week and came back with a perfect fat score. Even the A1c is down considerably. I have to admit, peanuts are my kryptonite… So, I went from Amazon bulk roasted/salted peanuts to ‘in the shell’.
I love this meal and is worth the extra fat as long as I use sparingly… So, today, (and still 3 more meals), in order to not waste the enormous amount of money Bidenomics is charging for Keto supplies.
Thanx Annie… As usual, you do not disappoint,
