FAQ

Can I use a different type of roll instead of Hawaiian rolls?

Absolutely! While Hawaiian rolls add a touch of sweetness, any soft, prebaked slider or dinner roll will work perfectly for this recipe.

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Yes! You can assemble the sliders a few hours before your party, cover them tightly, and refrigerate. Just pop them in the oven when you’re ready to serve.

What other cheeses can I use besides Swiss?

Feel free to swap in cheddar, provolone, mozzarella, or your favorite melty cheese—these sliders are deliciously versatile.

How do I keep the sliders from getting soggy?

To prevent sogginess, try spreading a thin layer of mayo, and don’t overdo the sauce. Baking uncovered to brown the tops of the rolls also helps keep sliders nice and toasty!
