Use soft rolls – Hawaiian rolls work best, but any soft dinner rolls will do.
Don’t skip the butter glaze – It adds so much flavor and makes the sliders extra delicious.
Make them crispy – Bake uncovered for a couple more minutes for crispier tops.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

Try different cheeses – Cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack work great.
Add a little heat – A pinch of red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños adds spice.
Swap the protein – Use turkey, roast beef, or even crispy bacon.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

With a side of chips or fries – A classic combo.
Serve with a dipping sauce – Honey mustard or ranch are great options.
Pair with a fresh salad – A crisp green salad balances the richness.
