3. Spread half the tapenade on the cut side of the bottoms, spread the other half on the tops..
4. On bottoms layer salami, provolone, mortadella, mozzarella, capicola in that order. Cover with the tops..
5. Wrap assembled sliders in plastic wrap. Press down gently and evenly to squish everything together. Refrigerate 1-2 hrs for flavors to marinate..
