Notes
Storage :
- To Store: Wrap your pizza sliders tightly or store them in an airtight container. They will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To Reheat: You can cook your sliders in the microwave for 10-15 second intervals until warmed through for a quick, delicious snack! To keep your bread from becoming soggy, my favorite way to reheat pizza sliders is by popping them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes. This keeps the bread slightly crispy.
- This recipe is for 12 sliders, but you can easily make a double batch for a large crowd or if you know your guests will eat more than two each.
- These sliders are done when the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted through.
