# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like your favorite appetizer and sandwich had a delicious baby.
  • You can prep the filling ahead and just assemble them before guests arrive.
  • Even picky eaters who claim they don't like spicy food end up reaching for seconds.
  • They're just as good for a quiet movie night as they are for feeding a crowd.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese isn't fully softened, you'll end up with clumps no matter how hard you stir, so be patient and let it sit out.
  • Covering the sliders with foil for the first part of baking keeps the buns soft and prevents them from drying out before the cheese melts.
  • Don't skip brushing the garlic butter on top, it's the difference between good sliders and unforgettable ones.
03 -
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the buns so you don't squish them, and keep them connected as one big slab for easier handling.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle a little crumbled blue cheese into the filling along with the cheddar and mozzarella.
  • If the tops are browning too fast, tent the dish loosely with foil again until the cheese is fully melted.
