Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cans of tuna drained
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 slider buns
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the sliders.
- Slice the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the tuna mixture evenly over each bun, then cover with the top halves.
- Brush the tops of the sliders with melted butter to help them brown beautifully in the oven.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Allow the sliders to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the filling set slightly.
- Serve these sliders warm with a side of chips or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Storage
- Place leftover sliders in an airtight container and refrigerate. They will stay fresh for up to three days.
- To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the sliders for about 10 minutes or until heated through. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
