Tuna Melt Sliders

Try these tuna melt sliders, a warm, comforting twist on a classic tuna melt sandwich. The flavors are rich and savory, dominated by tangy tuna salad filling. Sharp Cheddar cheese adds a bold, melty saltiness. Hawaiian slider buns are soft, pillowy, and slightly sweet. The Dijon-garlic butter topping crisps the slider tops and adds an aromatic finish.

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place bottom halves of rolls in the prepared baking dish, cut side up.
2 Stir together tuna, celery, mayonnaise, relish, salt, and pepper in a bowl until evenly combined.
3 Top rolls with 6 slices of Cheddar cheese, spread tuna mixture on top of the Cheddar, and cover with remaining 6 slices Cheddar.
4 Place top halves of rolls on top, cut-side down. Stir together butter, Dijon, dill, and garlic until combined. Brush all but 1 1/2 tablespoons butter mixture evenly over the tops of rolls. Loosely cover rolls with aluminum foil.
5 Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove and discard foil. Continue baking at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) until cheese is completely melted, about 5 minutes more. Brush remaining butter mixture evenly over rolls. Serve immediately. Recipe developed by Amanda Holstein
