Description
Oven-Baked Turkey and Cheese Sliders are soft, warm mini sandwiches filled with sliced turkey and melted cheese, baked together with a buttery topping. They are perfect for parties, snacks, or quick family meals.
Ingredients
Sliders
- 12 slider rolls
- 12 slices deli turkey
- 6 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese
Topping
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the sliders evenly.
- Prepare Rolls: Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally and arrange the bottom halves in a baking dish to form the base layer.
- Add Filling: Layer the deli turkey slices evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls, then top with slices of Swiss or cheddar cheese.
- Assemble Sliders: Place the top halves of the rolls over the turkey and cheese layers to complete the sandwiches.
- Make Topping Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, poppy seeds, and dried onion flakes, mixing well to create a flavorful topping.
- Brush Topping: Generously brush the butter mixture over the top of the assembled slider rolls to add flavor and help achieve a golden crust.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil to prevent the tops from burning and bake the sliders for 15 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and flavors to meld.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to let the tops turn golden and slightly crispy.
- Serve Warm: Slice the sliders individually and serve them warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Hawaiian rolls work especially well for a slightly sweet flavor that complements the savory turkey and cheese.
- You can substitute Swiss cheese with cheddar or your preferred melting cheese.
- For a slightly spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butter mixture.
- These sliders reheat well in the oven wrapped in foil to retain moisture.
