Description
Baked Cheese Sliders are warm, melty, and loaded with deli meat, cheddar and Swiss cheeses, and a tangy Dijon-mayo spread. Finished with a buttery poppy seed topping, they’re perfect for parties, potlucks, or cozy weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 12 sweet slider rolls
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 pound thinly sliced deli meat of choice
- 1/4 pound deli-sliced sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 pound deli-sliced Swiss cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of kosher salt, if needed
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
- Slice slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping tops and bottoms intact. Place cut sides up on a baking sheet and briefly toast under broiler until lightly golden.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a baking dish.
- Place bottom halves of rolls in the baking dish. Spread most of the Dijon-mayo mixture over them.
- Layer cheddar cheese, deli meat, and Swiss cheese on top. Spread remaining Dijon-mayo mixture on the roll tops and place over the filling.
- In another bowl, combine melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, onion powder, and salt. Brush or spoon this mixture over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes until tops are golden and slightly crisp.
- Let sliders rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- Use provolone, gouda, or pepper jack for cheese variations.
- Add caramelized onions or pickles for extra flavor.
- Mix a little hot sauce into the butter topping for heat.
- Toast rolls before assembling to prevent sogginess.
- Assemble ahead of time and refrigerate, adding butter topping just before baking.
