Ingredients
Sliders
- 12 slider rolls
- 12 slices deli turkey
- 6 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese
Topping
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Prepare the rolls: Slice each slider roll in half horizontally and place the bottom halves evenly in a baking dish.
- Assemble the filling: Layer 12 slices of deli turkey evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls, then add 6 slices of Swiss or cheddar cheese on top of the turkey.
- Add the top buns: Place the top halves of the slider rolls over the cheese and turkey layers, covering the filling.
- Make the butter topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, poppy seeds, and dried onion flakes until well combined.
- Brush the topping: Generously brush the butter mixture over the tops of the slider rolls to coat them evenly.
- Bake covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to warm the sliders and melt the cheese.
- Finish baking uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the tops to become golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Serve: Slice the sliders apart and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Hawaiian rolls work especially well for a slightly sweet flavor.
- Swiss cheese offers a milder taste, while cheddar provides a sharper flavor—choose based on your preference.
- You can add a little fresh cracked pepper or a dash of hot sauce inside the sliders for an extra kick.
- Covering the sliders while baking helps melt the cheese thoroughly without drying out the rolls.
