  1. Assemble the Sliders:
  • Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer to close the sliders.
  1. Make the Sauce:
  • In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, Dijon mustard (if using), honey (if using), garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  1. Brush the Sauce:
  • Brush the sauce mixture evenly over the tops of the sliders, ensuring that they are fully coated.
  1. Bake:
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through.
  1. Optional Garnish:
  • If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top of the sliders for a pop of color and freshness.
  1. Serve:
