How to make mini BLT sliders

Scroll down for the full recipe instructions and ingredient amounts in the recipe card below

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Slice the slider rolls horizontally to separate the tops and bottoms. Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, about 5 minutes.
• Spread the mayonnaise on the flat sides of the top half of each bun.
• Place one slice of tomato on the bottom half of each roll.
• Add two slices of bacon, side-by-side, on top of each tomato slice.
• Top with shredded lettuce and the top rolls, mayonnaise side down.
• Garnish each slider with a cherry tomato and a piece of kale using a toothpick to secure.

Swirls of Flavor Recipe Tips

• If desired, sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tomatoes for a boost in flavor!
• For added texture and flavor, butter both sides of the slider rolls before toasting.
• Thick cut bacon is the best option as it adds the perfect amount of bacon without having to pile it high on each slider. 
• Crispy bacon adds great texture
• Don’t like mayo? Add your favorite condiment in its place. You can even use ranch dressing for a punch of flavor.
• Stir a little barbecue sauce into your mayonnaise for a flavorful condiment

Substitutions

• You can use plum tomatoes in place of the roma tomatoes.
• Shredded romaine lettuce will also taste delicious if substituted for the iceberg lettuce.
• For more flavor, chipotle mayo can be used as the mayonnaise on your sliders
• You can use Big Mac Sauce or Chick Fil A Sauce in place of plain mayonnaise
• Grape tomatoes can be used instead of the cherry tomatoes. Multicolored grape tomatoes would be pretty!
