For many years I thought the word “slider” meant a tiny hamburger, but boy was I wrong! Sliders are small sandwiches made with slider rolls that come in a variety of flavors, and they are all the rage. Think meat and cheese melted together in the oven on a crisp roll – yum!
I can attest that all the recipes I’m about to share with you are not only delicious but easy to make. You can even customize for various occasions – Kentucky Hot Brown Sliders for a Kentucky Derby Party, Apple Turkey Cheddar Sliders using the apples you purchased at the Apple Orchard, Chicken and Waffle Sliders when hosting brunch, etc. You get the idea 🙂
Ham and Swiss Sliders are probably the most common slider (in my world at least). These are filled with juicy ham and Swiss cheese nestled in a Kings Hawaiian Roll. The tops of the rolls are brushed with a Dijon / poppy seed concoction that adds a bit of tang. These are to die for, and I don’t know how anyone can stop with just one!

Apple Turkey Cheddar Sliders are filled with turkey and cheddar cheese plus an apple slice or two. The apples give a nice crunch and citrusy taste. Instead of brushing the rolls with a topping before baking, I spread a jalapeño mustard on the buns while assembling. It’s just the kick these sliders need!

Kentucky Hot Brown Sliders are a great twist on the traditional open-faced sandwich. You can’t go wrong with warm turkey, crispy bacon, melted Gruyere cheese, pimientos, and a brown sugar/butter topping. These have a great Southern kick!

Chicken Parmesan Sliders are loaded with crispy chicken, mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce, and topped with a garlic butter mixture. Very hearty yet small enough to enjoy as an appetizer – a delicious alternative to traditional chicken parmesan!

Chicken and Waffle Sliders take breakfast to the next level. A crispy chicken nugget is sandwiched between two mini Eggo Waffles, then drizzled with maple syrup. These are a breakfast game changer and sure to please kids and adults alike!

Try any (or all) of these recipes for your next get-together! I think part of the name comes from the fact that they “slide” down easy when eating because you can’t stop with just one 🙂 It makes them perfect for a crowd!
But don’t stop here. If you have other ideas for a slider you are curious to try go ahead and be creative (pot roast, veggies, Cubano, you name it)!
Happy Cooking!
