Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 slider buns (like Hawaiian rolls or dinner rolls)
  • 1 pound thinly sliced deli turkey breast
  • 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend like Swiss, provolone, or Monterey Jack)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch black pepper
  • Optional Poppy seeds or sesame seeds for topping

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Carefully slice the slider buns in half horizontally. If using Hawaiian rolls, you can often slice the entire slab at once for ultimate speed. Place the bottom halves of the buns onto a large baking sheet or into a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. Evenly distribute the thinly sliced deli turkey breast over the bottom halves of the slider buns. Try to cover the entire surface of each bun bottom to ensure a generous amount of turkey in every bite. Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly flat; a little layering adds texture.

  3. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese (or your chosen cheese blend) evenly over the turkey layer. Make sure the cheese reaches the edges of the buns to create that irresistible melted cheesy goodness.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This flavorful mixture will be brushed over the tops of the sliders, infusing them with savory and tangy notes.

  6. Evenly brush the prepared butter and mustard mixture all over the tops of the slider buns. This is the secret to their golden-brown, slightly crisp tops and infused flavor. If you like, sprinkle poppy seeds or sesame seeds over the tops for an extra touch of visual appeal and a subtle crunch.

  7. Cover the baking dish or baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and gooey and the tops of the buns are lightly golden. For a crispier top, you can remove the foil for the last 5 minutes of baking.
  8. Carefully remove the sliders from the oven. Let them cool for just a minute or two before slicing them apart (if you baked them as a whole slab) and serving them warm.

Notes

Leftover sliders can be stored for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5-10 minutes, or until heated through. Can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
