Ingredients

Here’s the simple yet flavorful ingredient list:
- 18 slider buns (soft Hawaiian rolls preferred)
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini, avoid watery types)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder (or fresh garlic)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 12 slices Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional: fresh thyme or parsley, chopped
- Optional: Dijon mustard or mayo for buns
For best taste, use fresh, firm mushrooms from your local market or produce aisle. Choose quality Swiss cheese that melts well. Swap buns if you like—small sandwich or soft dinner rolls work too. Butter can be replaced with plant-based spread to keep it dairy-free.
Pre-slice mushrooms and chop onions ahead for smooth prep; keep covered in the fridge up to a day. This minimal ingredient list combines pantry basics and fresh produce for unforgettable Swiss mushroom sliders.
Let’s Make This!
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large baking pan for the sliders.
Step 2: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion until translucent, about 4-5 minutes, creating a sweet base.
Step 3: Add sliced mushrooms and cook 8-10 minutes until moisture evaporates and mushrooms brown. Stir occasionally to prevent steaming.
Step 4: Season with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and stir in Worcestershire sauce for rich flavor.
Step 5: Slice slider buns horizontally if needed; arrange bottom halves in the pan.
Step 6: Spoon mushroom mixture generously on each bottom bun.
Step 7: Top mushrooms evenly with Swiss cheese slices.
Step 8: Cover with top bun halves, foil the pan tightly, and bake 12-15 minutes until cheese melts and sliders warm through. For a toasted top, remove foil and bake 2-3 minutes more.
Step 9: Let sliders rest 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and sliders to firm up.
For a quick twist, add caramelized onions or a spread of Dijon mustard before baking. These simple additions enhance your mini mushroom sandwiches without fuss.

FAQs
Can I make Mini Mushroom Swiss Sliders ahead? Yes, prepare the mushroom mixture one day ahead and assemble just before baking to deepen flavor and save time.
What if I don’t have Swiss cheese? Mild cheddar or provolone work as great substitutes, melting well to complement mushrooms equally.
How do I know when sliders are done? Cheese should be melted fully, buns warm and soft, and kitchen filled with toasty, buttery aroma.
Can I add meat? Thinly sliced roast beef or turkey pairs wonderfully for a heartier mini mushroom sandwich.
Are pre-sliced mushrooms okay? Fresh sliced give the best flavor, but pre-sliced is fine if cooked carefully to avoid mushiness.
Can I freeze these sliders? Assemble uncooked sliders tightly wrapped in the freezer. Bake from frozen with 5-7 minutes extra baking time when ready.
What to serve with Swiss mushroom sliders? Pair with fresh apple slaw, seasonal roasted vegetables, or light potato salads for contrast and balance.
