Description
Crispy Prosciutto Cheese Sliders are savory party bites that are easy to prepare. These crowd-pleasing mini snacks are perfect for gatherings and potlucks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 mini slider buns (brioche or potato rolls)
- 8 slices prosciutto
- 8 slices Gruyère, fontina, or provolone cheese
- 4 tablespoons herbed cream cheese
- 1 cup arugula leaves
- 2 tablespoons butter (for toasting buns)
- 2 tablespoons honey mustard or fig jam (optional glaze)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 slices extra cheese (optional topping for extra melt)
Instructions
- Prepare toppings and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly toast the slider buns in a skillet with a small amount of butter until golden and the edges smell nutty.
- Spread the herbed cream cheese or garlic-mayo on the inside of each bun half. If using honey mustard or fig jam, keep it thin.
- Layer a thin slice of cheese on the bottom half, followed by a few pieces of crispy prosciutto.
- Add a small handful of greens on top. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Top with the remaining cheese slice, crown with the bun top, and brush the tops with a little butter.
- Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet, spaced so they don’t touch. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes.
- For a faster finish, broil on high for 1–2 minutes, watching closely.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2–3 minutes to set the cheese.
- Serve warm with extra greens and an optional dipping sauce; garnish with fresh herbs.
Notes
- These sliders can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving.
