Ingredients
Slider Ingredients
- 12 slider buns
- 1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 2 large tomatoes, sliced
Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
- Sliced avocado
- Cheese
- Pickles
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, drain the bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease and then crumble into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences and mix until smooth.
- Toast the Buns: Using the same skillet, lightly toast the slider buns until they turn golden brown to add a slight crunch and warmth.
- Assemble the Sliders: Spread a layer of the mayonnaise and mustard sauce mixture on the bottom half of each toasted slider bun to add moisture and flavor.
- Layer the Ingredients: Add a generous amount of crumbled bacon on top of the sauce, followed by a layer of shredded lettuce and a slice of fresh tomato to build the classic BLT flavors.
- Top the Sliders: Place the top half of each slider bun over the fillings, gently pressing down to secure the layers together.
- Serve: Arrange the sliders neatly on a platter and serve immediately to enjoy their fresh, crispy textures and balanced flavors.
Notes
- You can customize these sliders by adding optional toppings like sliced avocado, cheese, or pickles according to your preference.
- For a crispier bun, consider toasting the buns under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Leftover sliders can be wrapped tightly and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but best served fresh.
- If you prefer, bake the bacon in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes for even crispiness with less mess.
