Ingredients

For the White Cheddar Brioche Buns:

  • 1 packet Rapid Rise yeast
  • 1 cup milk, warmed to 110 degrees Fahrenheit ("bathtub" temperature)
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 eggs, divided (2 for dough, 1 for egg wash)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 1/2 - 3 cups all-purpose flour

Remaining ingredients:

  • 4 pieces applewood smoked bacon
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup mustard (choose your favorite!)
  • 3 Roma tomatoes, cut into 4 slices each
  • 1 cup mixed greens
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

To make the buns:

  • Mix yeast, milk, butter, sugar, 2 eggs and salt in a stand mixer. Add grated cheddar cheese, mix until combined. Add flour in ½ cup increments until dough comes together as one large ball but is still slightly sticky. Cover in bowl and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, for 1-2 hours (or until doubled in size.)
  • Remove from mixing bowl onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently. Separate dough into 12-15 portions (slider size!) Place on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper (or a silpat), cover and let rise again for one hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, use a fork to scramble the remaining egg, then brush it over the slider buns. Place in preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden. Remove from oven and let cool before slicing in half to assemble the rest of the sliders.

To make the bacon:

  • Place bacon slices on a rimmed baking pan covered with aluminum foil. Place in oven and turn oven on to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Set a timer for 20 minutes. The bacon cooks perfectly as the oven preheats, and when the timer goes off it will be perfectly cooked! Remove from pan onto a plate covered in a paper towel. Once cool, cut each slice of bacon into thirds.

To assemble the sliders:

  • With slider buns cut in half, spread about 1 teaspoon mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon mustard on either side of each bun. Carefully stack bacon, tomato, lettuce and avocado on top of bottom half of each slider bun. Top with other half of slider bun. Enjoy!
