Make Ahead Pepperoni Pizza Sliders

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2

Cut rolls in half. Set bottom halves in a greased baking pan.

Step 3

Spread pizza, or marinara sauce on the rolls in the pan.

Step 4

Sprinkle a layer of grated cheese or slices of cheese over marinara.

Step 5

Layer pepperoni slices over cheese.

Step 6

Add another layer of cheese.

Step 7

Set the top parts of the rolls back on sliders.

Step 8

Melt butter. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and a little salt. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Brush over the tops of the sliders.

Step 10

You can either refrigerate at this point or bake.

Step 11

If you are baking immediately, bake for about 10-15 minutes. You want the insides to be nice and gooey and the tops to be golden brown. If the rolls get too brown before the insides are baked, cover with aluminum foil and continue baking until insides are melted.

Step 12

If you are baking later, cover sliders with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for about 10 more minutes. If cheese still isn’t melted and the tops are golden brown, recover with aluminum foil and bake a little longer.
