  • Total Time: 28 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Sliders

  • 12 King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 810 slices cheddar cheese (or more for extra cheesy sliders)

Garlic Butter Spread

  • 4 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, though this is optional.
  2. Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter with garlic powder, dried oregano, and chopped parsley if using. Mix thoroughly to create a fragrant garlic butter spread.
  3. Slice rolls: Carefully slice each King’s Hawaiian roll into thirds vertically, creating three layers per roll.
  4. Butter the rolls: Evenly spread the prepared garlic butter mixture over the cut sides of all the rolls to impart a rich savory flavor.
  5. Add cheese: Layer slices of cheddar cheese between the buttered rolls, making sure the cheese adequately covers the bread to achieve a perfect melt.
  6. Bake: Place the assembled sliders on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes. Flip the sliders halfway through the baking time to ensure even melting and a golden exterior.
  7. Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven and serve them warm. They pair wonderfully with tomato soup, marinara sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra tasty experience.

Notes

  • Use extra cheese if you prefer your sliders extra gooey and cheesy.
  • Flipping the sliders halfway through baking ensures even browning and melting.
  • For a more herbaceous flavor, feel free to add fresh herbs like basil or thyme to the butter mixture.
  • These sliders can be made ahead and reheated gently in the oven for a quick snack.
