Tuna Melt Sliders

Tuna Melt Sliders deliver gooey Cheddar layered with tangy tuna salad on soft, slightly sweet Hawaiian rolls. A Dijon-garlic butter brush bakes into the tops, adding a toasty, aromatic crunch that contrasts the melty center. Perfect for game day or a cozy weeknight, they’re rich, satisfying, and built for sharing.

Tuna Melt Sliders
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the bottom halves of the rolls in the prepared dish, cut side up.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, stir together the tuna, celery, mayonnaise, relish, salt, and pepper until evenly mixed.

  3. 3

    Place 6 slices of Cheddar cheese on the rolls, spread the tuna mixture over the Cheddar, and top with the remaining 6 slices of Cheddar.

  4. 4

    Set the top halves of the rolls in place, cut side down. Stir together the butter, Dijon, dill, and garlic until combined. Brush all but 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls. Loosely cover the rolls with aluminum foil.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove and discard the foil. Continue baking at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) until the cheese is completely melted, about 5 minutes more.

  7. 7

    Brush the remaining butter mixture evenly over the rolls. Serve immediately. Recipe developed by Amanda Holstein.
