Main Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian slider rolls
- ¾ lb sliced roasted turkey breast
- 6 slices crispy turkey bacon, halved
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced (optional)
Topping Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the sliders.
- Prepare Rolls: Slice each Hawaiian slider roll in half horizontally and arrange the bottom halves evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer Ingredients: Evenly spread the sliced roasted turkey breast over the bottom halves of the rolls. Layer the halved crispy turkey bacon on top, and add thinly sliced tomato if using.
- Add Cheese and Tops: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and sharp white cheddar cheese evenly over the meat layers. Place the top halves of the slider rolls on the cheese layer.
- Make and Apply Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Brush this flavorful mixture generously over the tops of the slider rolls.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil to prevent drying. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to melt the cheese and warm through.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the tops are nicely golden and slightly crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Let the sliders cool for about 5 minutes after baking to set, then slice and serve warm for a comforting meal or party appetizer.
Notes
- For a spicier twist, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the butter topping.
- Using Hawaiian rolls adds a subtle sweetness complementing the savory flavors.
- If you prefer, substitute mozzarella with Monterey Jack for a different melty texture.
- Try adding a sprinkle of paprika on top before baking for extra color and flavor.
- These sliders are best served warm but can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the oven.
