• ½ cup unsalted butter1

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Get Started: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray1.
2. Prep the Rolls: Without pulling the rolls apart, slice them in half horizontally. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared pan1.
3. Layer the Goodness: Layer the turkey onto the rolls, followed by the cheese1.
4. Top it Off: Place the top half of the rolls onto the cheese1.
5. Make the Butter Mixture: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan. Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and everything bagel seasoning1.
6. Brush with Flavor: Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls. Let them sit for 5 minutes to soak up some of the butter1.
7. Bake to Perfection: Cover the rolls with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, removing the foil during the last 5 minutes to get them golden brown and the cheese melted1.
8. Add Cranberry Aioli: Once the sliders are out of the oven, spread cranberry aioli on each slider7.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

• Yes, you can assemble the sliders ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Add the butter mixture just before baking.

Can I use regular rolls instead of Hawaiian rolls?

• Absolutely! Hawaiian rolls add a touch of sweetness, but any slider rolls will work3.

What if I don’t have everything bagel seasoning?

• You can use poppy seeds, dried minced onion, or just leave it out12.
