Layered over soft Hawaiian rolls, each slider is topped with cheddar cheese and crispy crumbled bacon then finished with a buttery sesame glaze. They’re baked until the filling is hot, the cheese is melted, and the tops are golden brown. These handheld bites are easy for sharing, and the buttery finish ensures every bite is packed with flavor. Ideal for group gatherings and casual occasions.
