I finally found this recipe again on TikTok Tony Cu Food and Travel, after searching for it for years.
Many moons ago, when we were stationed at Fort Campbell, a Filipina woman in our neighborhood used to bring these lumpias to work. She had given me the recipe back then. But you know how it goes when you move a lot. And in those days, there was no internet or computer to fall back on.
Finding it again brought back many memories, and I’m glad to finally have it written down. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
The name Sliders originated in the 1940’s, when sailors in the U.S. Navy would refer to mini-burgers as “sliders” because of their extreme greasiness. In just one or two bites, the burger would just slide right down! The slider was first created at White Castle, a popular American fast food chain restaurant. Since then all kind of sliders has been created.
Ingredients:
1 package Hawaiian sweet rolls
Marinara sauce
Shredded mozzarella cheese
pepperoni slices
For the herb butter topping:
1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Cut the rolls horizontally. Place the bottom on the silpad. Spread the marinara sauce onto the rolls. Add Italian seasoning if you like. Next, add the shredded cheese. On top of the cheese layer add the slices of pepperoni. Don’t be stingy ! Add the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni.
Now make the seasoned buttery topping. Combine all the ingredients and let it the butter melt. Use a brush or a spoon and spread the topping all over the sliders. Cover with foil and bake for about 25 minutes.
