Ingredient notes:

Ingredients for a recipe on a wooden surface: grated mozzarella, six bread rolls, frozen spinach, onion soup mix, milk, sour cream, and a can of cream cheese.

Rolls: Any type of store bought bread rolls or sliders can be used to make this recipe. If you're feeling particularly domestic, you could always make your own Dinner Rolls from scratch.
Cheese: This recipe works best with mozzarella which is not only super flavoursome but also nice and stringy.
Spinach: I use frozen spinach to make these creamy cob sliders. It's affordable and cooks down well!

Step by step instructions:

Preheat the oven to 170°C fan bake. Arrange the dinner rolls closely together on a baking tray. Using a small sharp knife, cut a round out of the top of each roll and scoop out a little of the soft centre to make a hollow. Place the tray of hollowed rolls in the oven and bake for 5 minutes while you prepare the dip mixture.

Recipe FAQs:

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

You can prepare the dip mixture and hollow out the rolls a few hours ahead. Store the dip covered in the fridge, then fill and bake the sliders just before serving so they stay crisp and warm.

Can I use different cheeses?

Yes! You can swap the mozzarella for tasty, cheddar or Colby cheese - or use a mix for extra flavour. Just choose a cheese that melts well.

What can I serve these with?

These sliders are great as a party snack or light lunch. Serve alongside a fresh salad, veggie sticks, or a platter with other bite-sized nibbles.

Storage:

These sliders are best enjoyed immediately on the day they are made!

Any leftover can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge overnight.

Top tips:

I used a cookie dough scoop to scoop the dip into the buns.
Save the centres, toast and blitz for homemade breadcrumbs.
