Ingredients & Their Roles
For the Sliders
• Slider buns (12 count) – Soft, buttery buns that hold all the layers together without falling apart.
• Sliced turkey or chicken – Brings protein and classic club-sandwich flavor. Use deli-style slices for the best texture.
• Crispy bacon (8–10 slices) – Adds crunch, smoky richness, and an irresistible salty bite.
• Cheddar or Swiss cheese (6–8 slices) – Melts beautifully and creates a creamy, savory layer.
• Tomatoes (2 large, sliced thin) – Provide freshness, acidity, and balance.
• Lettuce (romaine or iceberg) – Adds crisp, refreshing crunch.
• Mayonnaise (½ cup) – The classic spread that ties every layer together with creaminess.
• Dijon mustard (1 tbsp) – Enhances flavor with a subtle tang.
• Butter (3 tbsp, melted) – Brushed on top for a golden finish.
• Garlic powder (½ tsp) – Infuses the bread topping with savory aroma.
• Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional) – Adds classic slider-bun texture and visual appeal.
• Salt & black pepper (to taste) – Enhances and balances flavors.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Bacon
Cook the bacon until perfectly crispy. Drain on paper towels. The crispness is essential to achieve that signature club-sandwich crunch.
2. Slice the Slider Buns
Without separating the individual buns, cut the entire block of slider rolls horizontally. This makes layering easier and ensures neat, even sliders.
3. Mix the Mayo Spread
Combine mayonnaise with Dijon mustard for a creamy, tangy spread that boosts flavor. Spread the mixture generously on both the top and bottom bun halves.
4. Build the Sliders
Layer in this order for ideal texture and bite:
1. Cheese slices – So they melt into the bread.
2. Turkey or chicken – Add evenly for balanced sliders.
3. Crispy bacon – Spread across the surface.
4. Tomato slices – Season lightly with salt & pepper.
5. Lettuce leaves – Add crunch just before baking.
5. Add the Top Buns
Place the upper half of the slider bread on top, aligning the buns.
6. Brush With Butter
Mix melted butter with garlic powder and brush over the top buns. Sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds if you want that classic slider-bun look.
7. Bake
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are lightly golden.
8. Slice & Serve
Use a sharp knife to cut along the bun lines to create perfectly neat, ready-to-serve sliders.
