Ingredients
The ingredients are simple yet flavorful, starting with two tablespoons of light mayonnaise mixed with one teaspoon of sriracha to give the sliders a creamy yet spicy kick. The base of these sliders is nine whole wheat slider buns, chosen for their wholesome goodness.
You’ll need eight ounces of first cut corned beef, sliced thin, to ensure each bite is tender and packed with flavor. The sliders are made even more irresistible with four slices of white cheddar cheese, adding a creamy, melty texture. Each slider is topped with a dill pickle chip, introducing a tangy crunch that balances the richness of the meat and cheese.
Preheat and Mix
The preparation process is straightforward, beginning with preheating your oven to 350 degrees. While the oven warms, whisk together the mayonnaise and sriracha in a separate bowl, creating a spicy mayonnaise that will serve as the flavorful spread for your sliders.
Assemble the Sliders
If your slider buns aren’t already cut, slice them in half horizontally and place them on a sheet pan. Spread the sriracha mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, then layer on the corned beef.
The cheese slice and a pickle chip are placed next, adding layers of flavor and texture. Finally, cap them with the top half of the buns.
Bake to Perfection
The assembled sliders are then covered and baked for 15 to 20 minutes. This final step ensures the cheese melts perfectly, enveloping the corned beef in a gooey, delicious embrace.
Once done, these corned beef sliders are ready to serve, promising a melt-in-your-mouth experience that combines the spicy, the savory, and the tangy in every bite.
Customization Ideas
To make these corned beef sliders your own, consider incorporating some of these customization ideas:
Cheese Varieties
While white cheddar offers a classic taste, experimenting with different cheeses can add new dimensions to your sliders. Try Swiss for a nutty flavor, pepper jack for a little heat, or smoked gouda for a deep, smoky essence.
Additional Toppings
Enhance the flavor and texture with additional toppings. Consider adding sauerkraut for a traditional twist, coleslaw for a crunchy texture, or caramelized onions for a hint of sweetness.
Sauce Variations
Mix up the sauce by adding ingredients to the mayonnaise and sriracha mix. Incorporating garlic, honey or mustard can introduce new flavors that complement the corned beef.
Vegetarian Option
For a vegetarian twist, replace the corned beef with thick slices of portobello mushrooms or a plant-based meat substitute. Adjust the baking time accordingly to ensure the filling is heated through and the cheese is melted.
