Ingredients
Scale
Sliders
- 12 slider rolls connected
- 6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
Butter Topping
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Prepare Rolls: Without separating the rolls, slice the entire slab horizontally in half to create a top and bottom section. Place the bottom half inside a greased 9×13-inch baking dish to form the base layer.
- Layer Fillings: Evenly layer the thinly sliced prosciutto over the bottom rolls, then cover the prosciutto with the provolone and mozzarella cheese slices to ensure the cheese fully covers the meat.
- Add Top Rolls: Place the top half of the slider rolls back onto the cheese, forming the sandwich layers.
- Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning until well combined.
- Brush Rolls: Evenly brush the butter mixture over the tops of the slider rolls, then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered surface for added flavor and crispness.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and flavors to meld.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 8 to 10 minutes or until the tops are golden brown, crispy, and the cheese is bubbly and fully melted.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh herbal note. Allow the sliders to cool slightly, then cut into individual portions and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, bake uncovered during the final minutes until the tops reach a deep golden color.
- Swiss or fontina cheese can be substituted for a different flavor profile.
- These sliders are ideal for parties, game days, or holiday gatherings as a convenient and crowd-pleasing appetizer.
