Ingredients
  

Sliders
  • 1 package sweet Hawaiian rolls 12-count
  • 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 8 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
Garlic Butter Glaze
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Baking sheet or 9x13 pan
  • Serrated Bread Knife
  • Pastry brush
  • Small mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Using a serrated knife, slice the entire slab of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the individual rolls attached.
  3. Place the bottom half of the rolls on the baking sheet. Layer evenly with cheddar cheese, followed by a layer of provolone or mozzarella cheese.
  4. Place the top half of the rolls onto the cheese layers.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, onion powder, and salt.
  6. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the top and sides of the assembled sliders.
  7. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove foil and bake 3-5 more minutes until tops are golden and cheese is melted.
  8. Let rest for 2 minutes, slice along the roll seams, and serve warm.

Notes

Add cooked bacon, ham, or turkey inside for a meaty variation. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warm.
