Tender halal corned beef, soft slider buns, tangy mustard, and crisp pickles combine for a delicious, bite-sized treat.
# What You'll Need:
→ Halal Corned Beef
01 - 14 ounces halal corned beef, thinly sliced
→ Buns & Toppings
02 - 8 mini slider buns
03 - 8 slices halal Swiss cheese (optional)
04 - 16 dill pickle slices
05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
→ Mustard Sauce
06 - 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
07 - 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
08 - 1 tablespoon honey
09 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
10 - Salt, to taste
11 - Black pepper, to taste
→ Garnish
12 - Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
03 - Carefully slice each mini slider bun horizontally. Place the bottom halves onto the prepared baking tray.
04 - Layer each bun base with a portion of the thinly sliced halal corned beef. If opting to use cheese, place a slice of halal Swiss cheese on top of the corned beef.
05 - Place two dill pickle slices onto each slider assembly. Spoon a small amount of the prepared mustard sauce over the meat and pickles.
06 - Position the top halves of the slider buns onto each assembled slider. Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the tops of the buns with the melted unsalted butter.
07 - Transfer the baking tray to the preheated oven and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the slider buns are lightly golden and the cheese is thoroughly melted and bubbly.
08 - Remove the sliders from the oven. If desired, sprinkle finely chopped fresh parsley over the tops for garnish. Serve warm, offering any remaining mustard sauce on the side for dipping.
