Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) thinly sliced roast beef
- 6 slices cheddar cheese (halved)
- 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls or soft dinner rolls)
Sauce and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Topping Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F, creating an ideal warming environment for the sliders.
- Carefully split slider buns into top and bottom halves, positioning the bottom sections on a sturdy baking sheet.
- Apply a thin layer of mayonnaise across the base of each bun for enhanced moisture and flavor.
- Distribute roast beef slices evenly across the bun bottoms, ensuring complete coverage.
- Layer cheddar cheese slices directly on top of the roast beef, allowing for perfect melting.
- Crown the sliders with their corresponding top bun sections to complete the sandwich structure.
- Craft a luxurious butter glaze by whisking melted butter with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and poppy seeds until thoroughly combined.
- Generously brush the prepared glaze over the slider tops, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Shield the sliders with aluminum foil, protecting them during initial baking and preventing excessive browning.
- Bake covered for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and cheese to soften.
- Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the tops transform into a golden, crispy exterior.
- Extract from oven and let rest momentarily before carefully separating into individual sliders.
- Serve immediately while warm, showcasing the melted cheese and aromatic glaze.
Notes
- Customize cheese selection by swapping cheddar with provolone, Swiss, or pepper jack for varied flavor profiles.
- Prep sliders ahead of time and refrigerate before baking, which helps ingredients meld and intensifies taste.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium roast beef and choosing reduced-fat cheese options for health-conscious variations.
- Toast slider buns briefly before assembling to enhance crispiness and prevent soggy bottoms, ensuring a satisfying texture.
