Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). - Prepare the Buns:
Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom half in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. - Layer the Ingredients:
- Spread a layer of marinara sauce over the bottom half of the buns.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
- Add a layer of pepperoni (or your choice of toppings).
- Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Place the top half of the slider buns over the cheese.
- Prepare the Butter Mixture:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture over the top of the slider buns. - Bake:
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 15 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tops are golden brown. - Serve:
Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
Tips:
- Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences—mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives are great options!
- Serve with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Enjoy your cheesy mini pizza sliders! They’re sure to be a hit!
