Make these simple, cheesy pizza sliders using slider buns for a fast appetizer or kid-friendly weeknight meal. They bake up gooey and are topped with a savory garlic butter glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 count) package sweet slider buns (like King’s Hawaiian)
  • 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Slice the entire package of slider buns horizontally, keeping the bottom and top halves connected in one piece. Place the bottom halves of the buns in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the bottom layer of buns.
  4. Layer the pepperoni slices over the sauce.
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the pepperoni layer.
  6. Place the top halves of the buns over the cheese layer.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  8. Brush the butter mixture evenly over the top of the assembled sliders.
  9. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered tops.
  10. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  11. Bake for 15 minutes covered.
  12. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops are lightly golden brown.
  13. Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing them apart and serving warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add thin slices of cooked sausage or bell peppers with the pepperoni.
  • You can prepare the sliders completely, cover them, and refrigerate them for up to 4 hours before baking. Add 5-10 minutes to the covered baking time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
  • Use good quality marinara sauce; the sauce flavor makes a big difference in this simple recipe.
