# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These sliders disappear faster than you can say 'pass the platter' and people actually ask for the recipe
  • The magic butter topping creates that golden, restaurant style finish that makes them look like you tried way harder than you did
02 -
  • Don't skip the foil step, or you'll end up with burnt tops before the cheese even starts thinking about melting
  • The butter mixture needs to be brushed on right before baking, or the buns will get soggy instead of crispy
03 -
  • Use room temperature buns for the best texture, and never refrigerate them before baking or they'll bake up tough
  • Let them rest for just 2 minutes after baking so the cheese sets slightly and doesn't slide out when people bite in
