๐Ÿค” Common Questions

Can I use a different cheese?

Absolutely. Provolone, Swiss, or American cheese all work great here.

Is it pickle juice or pepperoncini juice?

Pepperoncini juice! It adds tang without overpowering the sliders like pickle juice can.

Ingredients
  

Sliders
Pepperoncini Dijon Mayo
Buttery Slider Topping

Method
 

Prep the Rolls
  1. Preheat oven to 350ยฐF.
  2. Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom half into a greased baking dish.
  3. Layer 6 slices of Muenster cheese evenly over the bottom buns.
Fry the Bologna
  1. Heat 1โ€“2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the bologna slices and fry until deeply browned and slightly crispy, about 2โ€“3 minutes per side.
  3. Layer the hot fried bologna directly over the Muenster cheese.
Make the Pepperoncini Dijon Mayo
  1. In a small bowl, mix together:
  2. Mayonnaise
  3. Dijon mustard
  4. Pepperoncini juice
  5. Garlic powder
  6. Salt and black pepper
  7. Stir until smooth. Taste and adjustโ€”add a little more juice or Dijon if you like extra tang.
Assemble the Sliders
  1. Sprinkle pepperoncinis evenly over the bologna
  2. Add a light layer of shredded mozzarella cheese
  3. Spread the pepperoncini-Dijon mayo on the inside of the top buns
  4. Place the top buns back onto the sliders
Butter & Bake
  1. In a bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder, pepperoncini juice, salt, and pepper.
  2. Brush generously over the tops of the sliders, making sure the butter seeps into the cracks and edges.
  3. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove foil and bake another 10โ€“15 minutes, until the tops are golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Serve
  1. Let rest for a few minutes, slice, and serve warm. These sliders disappear fastโ€”consider doubling if youโ€™re feeding a crowd.
