Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb bacon
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 12 slider buns
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1 tomato, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the bacon by laying strips flat on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cook in a preheated oven at 400°F for 12-15 minutes until crisp and golden brown.
- While bacon is cooking, prepare the Parmesan mayo by combining mayonnaise and grated Parmesan cheese in a small mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
- Remove bacon from oven and drain on paper towels to remove excess grease. Let cool slightly, then break or cut each strip into thirds to fit slider buns.
- Wash and shred lettuce into small pieces. Slice tomatoes into thin rounds, ensuring they are roughly the same size as the slider buns.
- Lightly toast slider buns in a skillet or under the broiler until edges are golden and crisp.
- Assemble sliders by spreading a generous layer of Parmesan mayo on the bottom half of each bun.
- Layer each slider with crispy bacon pieces, a slice of tomato, and shredded lettuce.
- Top with the other half of the bun and secure with a toothpick if desired.
- Serve immediately while bacon is still warm and buns are crisp.
Tips
- Bacon Perfection: Use thick-cut bacon and cook it in the oven for even, crispy results. Placing bacon on a parchment-lined baking sheet prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Mayo Magic: For extra flavor in your Parmesan mayo, let it sit for 10-15 minutes before assembling sliders to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Toasting Technique: Lightly butter the slider buns before toasting for an extra golden, crispy exterior that adds a delightful crunch.
- Prep Ahead: You can cook the bacon and prepare the Parmesan mayo up to a day in advance, making party prep super easy.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve sliders immediately after assembly to maintain the perfect texture of crisp bacon and toasted buns.
