Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound (1 lb) deli roast beef (thinly sliced)
- 6 slices Swiss cheese (or provolone)
Bread Base:
- 12 slider buns (soft, like Hawaiian rolls)
Seasoning and Sauce:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Craft a zesty sauce by whisking mayonnaise, horseradish, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a compact mixing vessel until thoroughly incorporated and silky smooth.
- Gently halve slider buns, positioning bottom sections across a greased rectangular baking vessel.
- Lavishly spread prepared horseradish sauce onto each bun base, creating a creamy foundation.
- Distribute roast beef uniformly across sauce-coated bun bottoms, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Crown roast beef layers with Swiss cheese slices, delicately folding cheese to accommodate slider dimensions.
- Cap each slider with corresponding bun tops, creating compact sandwich structures.
- Formulate a luxurious butter glaze by combining melted butter with garlic and onion powders, stirring until perfectly blended.
- Methodically brush butter mixture across slider surfaces, ensuring comprehensive and even coating.
- Heat oven to 350°F, positioning rack in central position.
- Encase baking dish with aluminum foil, allowing sliders to steam gently for initial 10 minutes.
- Remove foil, continue baking until cheese transforms into molten pools and bun tops achieve golden-brown perfection.
- Extract sliders from oven, optional garnish with freshly chopped parsley for vibrant visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while warm and cheese remains delightfully melted.
Notes
- Customize the sauce by adjusting horseradish intensity to suit different heat preferences, creating a personalized flavor profile.
- For a lighter version, swap roast beef with turkey or chicken slices, making the recipe more diet-friendly and versatile.
- Enhance texture by toasting buns slightly before assembling to prevent sogginess and add a crispy element to the sliders.
- Prepare sauce and assemble sliders ahead of time, covering and refrigerating until ready to bake, which makes this a convenient make-ahead party appetizer.
