Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces slider buns
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna in water
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup celery, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 slices cheddar cheese, sliced
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Open the canned tuna, drain the water, and transfer the tuna to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add mayonnaise, celery, red onion, dill pickle, lemon juice, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined and creamy.
Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves connected as a single sheet if possible. Place the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the tuna mixture evenly across the bottom halves of the slider buns.
Cut the cheddar cheese slices in half and place a half slice on top of each slider. Cover with the top halves of the slider buns.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Brush the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the slider buns.
Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the buns are golden brown.
Remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool slightly before separating them using a sharp knife.
Serve warm and enjoy!
