• 1 tbsp. of Pecorino Romano
• Brush the butter mixture over the sliders
• bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes total. Bake covered with foil for about 10-15 minutes. Then, uncover and bake another 10 minutes to brown.

Notes

• King’s Hawaiian Rolls: or any other dinner rolls that are about 2 inches across. If you use my favorite, King’s Hawaiian Rolls, you’ll need a serrated bread knife to slice them through neatly! Here is an option:https://amzn.to/2RDHOAP

• Pyrex dish: about 13×9 inches: https://amzn.to/3tmYXwx

• NO SOGGY SLIDERS: The first layer is the cheese. Then, spread the marinara sauce over the cheese. This will create a barrier between the bread and the marinara. Your sliders will be crisp and delicious!

• You can pour the butter mixture over the sliders, but for best results use a basting brush: https://amzn.to/3WZFfoU
