Ingredients Notes

The beauty of Pizza Supreme Sliders lies in their simple, flavorful ingredients. Each one plays a key role in creating the perfect balance of textures and tastes.

Slider buns: Soft and fluffy buns are the foundation of this recipe. Look for ones that are connected as a sheet to make assembly easier, but any small buns will work.

Pizza sauce: A rich, flavorful sauce ties everything together. Opt for your favorite jarred marinara or a homemade sauce if you prefer.

Cheese: Shredded mozzarella is the classic choice, offering that gooey, stretchy texture everyone loves. For added depth, a sprinkle of Parmesan or an Italian blend works wonders.

Toppings: This is where you can get creative! Try chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, and onions for a veggie-packed option. For protein, diced beef sausage, shredded chicken, or turkey pepperoni work perfectly.

Butter topping: A melted butter glaze seasoned with garlic powder, Italian herbs, and a pinch of red pepper flakes transforms the buns into golden, flavorful bites. Don’t skip this step – it’s what makes these sliders shine.

You’ll also need a large baking dish or tray, some aluminum foil, and a basting brush for that buttery topping.

How To Make These Pizza Supreme Sliders

Making these sliders is a breeze, and you’ll have a tray of golden, cheesy perfection ready in no time. Let’s walk through the steps.

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining your baking dish with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup effortless.

Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the bottom and top halves intact. Place the bottom half of the buns into your prepared baking dish.

Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the bottom buns, ensuring every inch is covered. This will prevent the sliders from drying out while baking.

Layer your cheese over the sauce, followed by your chosen toppings. Don’t be shy – the more, the better! Add another layer of cheese on top to hold everything together.

Carefully place the top half of the buns over the fillings. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Brush this mixture over the top buns, ensuring an even coating.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. This allows the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes to let the tops turn golden brown.

Once out of the oven, let the sliders cool for a couple of minutes before slicing them apart. Serve them warm and watch them disappear!

Storage Options

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, these sliders store beautifully for another day.

To refrigerate, place the cooled sliders in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in aluminum foil. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days.

For longer storage, freeze individual sliders in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag. They’ll keep well for up to 3 months.

Reheating is simple. Warm refrigerated sliders in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes or until heated through. For frozen sliders, allow them to thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating the same way.

Variations and Substitutions

This recipe is wonderfully flexible, allowing you to make it your own with a few tweaks.

For a veggie-loaded version, use diced zucchini, roasted eggplant, or spinach as toppings. These add a burst of freshness while keeping the dish hearty.

If you’re a fan of heat, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce to the toppings. Spicy turkey sausage is another excellent option for a kick.

Cheese lovers can mix things up with provolone, cheddar, or even a touch of ricotta under the toppings for extra creaminess.

For a more Mediterranean twist, swap the pizza sauce for pesto and top with feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and black olives.

Experiment with your favorite flavors and enjoy creating your personalized slider masterpiece. Whether you’re hosting a party or enjoying a cozy night in, these Pizza Supreme Sliders are sure to become a staple in your recipe rotation.
