Ingredients:
12 Sweet Hawaiian Rolls
12 slices of deli turkey
12 slices of pepperoni
6 slices of sharp cheddar cheese (cut in half)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons cinnamon butter (for spreading)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will get your sliders nice and toasty in no time!
2. Prepare the Rolls
Slice all the Sweet Hawaiian Rolls in half horizontally, making sure to keep the tops and bottoms intact for easy sandwich assembly.
3. Layer the Ingredients
Place the bottom halves of the rolls on a baking sheet. Start layering the ingredients:
First, add a half slice of cheddar cheese to each roll.
Follow that with a slice of turkey and pepperoni.
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella on top for extra cheesy goodness.
4. Spread Cinnamon Butter
This step takes the sliders to the next level! Spread a thin layer of cinnamon butter over the top half of each roll. The sweetness of the cinnamon butter contrasts perfectly with the savory fillings.
5. Assemble the Sliders
Place the top halves of the rolls (with the cinnamon butter spread) back onto the sandwiches. They should now look like mini, flavorful sliders.
6. Bake to Perfection
Place the assembled sliders in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the cheese is melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
7. Serve and Enjoy!
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These sliders are best enjoyed warm when the cheese is gooey, and the cinnamon butter is slightly caramelized.
Tips for Making the Best Sliders:
Customize the Filling: Don’t be afraid to switch things up! Use ham instead of turkey, or try adding a few slices of salami for extra flavor.
Add Extra Cheese: If you're a cheese lover, feel free to add more shredded mozzarella or a second slice of cheddar!
Sweeten it Up: If you love the sweetness of the cinnamon butter, you can even add a bit more inside the rolls for a stronger flavor contrast.
Recommended: Quality Baking Sheet Pan
Storage and Reheating:
If you have any leftover sliders (though we doubt you will!), here’s how to store and reheat them:
To Store: Place the sliders in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 3 days.
To Reheat: Simply pop them back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until they’re warmed through and the cheese is melty again.
Conclusion
These Cheesy Turkey and Pepperoni Sliders are sure to become a favorite in your household. The combination of melted cheese, savory turkey and pepperoni, sweet Hawaiian rolls, and caramelized cinnamon butter is pure perfection. They’re quick to make, full of flavor, and perfect for any occasion.
