# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They turn a beloved dip into handheld, cheesy sliders that disappear faster than you can plate them.
  • You can prep the filling ahead and assemble them right before guests arrive, making hosting stress-free.
  • The garlic butter brushed on top adds a bakery-style golden crust that makes them feel special.
  • Theyre messy in the best way, encouraging laughter and napkins and second helpings.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese is not fully softened, you will end up with clumps that refuse to blend, so give it time at room temperature.
  • Do not skip the foil step, baking uncovered the whole time dries out the buns before the cheese melts properly.
  • Let the sliders rest for a few minutes after baking so the filling sets slightly and does not slide out when you cut them.
03 -
  • Use kitchen shears to slice the connected buns in half, it is faster and cleaner than a knife.
  • Brush the garlic butter all the way to the edges so every slider gets that golden, flavorful crust.
  • If you are prepping ahead, assemble everything except the butter, cover, and refrigerate, then brush and bake when ready.
