How to Make Crispy Prosciutto and Cheese Sliders
Step 1: Prep the Prosciutto
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the prosciutto slices in a single layer.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until prosciutto is crisp but not burnt. Remove and let cool.
Step 2: Assemble the Sliders
- Slice the slider buns in half horizontally (keeping them connected helps assemble easily), and place the bottom halves in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange half of the provolone cheese evenly on the bottom buns.
- Layer the crispy prosciutto over the cheese, then top with the remaining provolone slices.
- Place the top half of buns on over the cheese.
Step 3: Make and Brush the Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, Dijon mustard, honey, and garlic powder.
- Brush the tops of the slider buns generously with the butter mixture.
Step 4: Bake the Sliders
- Cover the dish with foil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, until the tops are golden and cheese is melted.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm!
