Ingredients
Scale
- 12 soft dinner rolls or slider buns (e.g., King’s Hawaiian)
- 3 medium fresh jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped
- 8 oz (227g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (about 100g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 4 tablespoons (57g) butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, chopped jalapenos, cooked bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping tops and bottoms intact.
- Spread the cheese mixture generously onto the bottom halves of the buns.
- Place the top halves of the buns back on and arrange all 12 sliders snugly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Brush melted butter evenly over the tops of the sliders.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until tops are golden and cheese filling bubbles around edges.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top after baking. Let sliders rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Remove jalapeno seeds to reduce heat. Use dairy-free cream cheese and vegan cheddar for dairy-free version. Bacon is optional; smoked paprika can substitute for smoky flavor. Line baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup. If tops brown too quickly, tent with foil.
