Eight ounces of sliced pepperoni

Sixteen ounces of mozzarella cheese

Six to eight ounces of parmesan cheese

One and a half teaspoons of pizza seasoning

Two tablespoons of melted butter

One clove of finely minced garlic

Instructions

1-How to Prepare the Perfect Pizza Sliders: Getting pizza sliders right means following a few straightforward steps that turn simple ingredients into a crowd-pleaser. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a large baking dish or rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Without pulling the rolls apart, use a large serrated knife to slice them in half horizontally, separating tops from bottoms, and place the bottoms cut side up in the prepared pan. In a bowl, mix the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses with the pizza seasoning to create a tasty cheese blend.

2-Next, spread half the pizza sauce evenly over the bottoms, sprinkle half the cheese mixture on top, layer with the pepperoni, and then top with the remaining cheese. Spread the remaining sauce on the cut sides of the roll tops and place them on the sliders. Melt the butter and combine it with the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then brush this mixture over the tops of the sliders for a flavorful finish. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and tops are lightly browned, and optionally grate extra parmesan cheese over the sliders immediately after baking.

3-Each step can be modified to include vegan, gluten-free, or other dietary preferences by substituting appropriate ingredients, ensuring everyone can enjoy delicious pizza sliders tailored to their needs. This method is quick, with just 10 minutes of prep and 20 minutes of cooking, yielding about 24 sliders.
