Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork sausage
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 8 slider buns
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp butter (for toasting buns)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sausage patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork sausage with salt and pepper, then gently mix just until combined. Form into small, slider-sized patties, about 2 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick for perfect cooking.
  2. Cook the sausage patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. While still in the pan, drizzle maple syrup over the patties, turning to coat them evenly and develop a sticky glaze.
  3. Toast the slider buns: Spread butter on the cut sides of the slider buns and toast them in a separate skillet or oven until golden brown and slightly crispy, adding wonderful texture to your sliders.
  4. Assemble the sliders: On each bottom bun, spread a little Dijon mustard, place the glazed sausage patty, then top with shredded cheddar cheese. Close with the bun tops and optionally garnish with fresh parsley for a fresh, green touch.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the sausage to keep patties tender rather than tough.
  • Use room temperature maple syrup for better glazing without cooling the pan.
  • Toast buns just before serving to keep them warm and crunchy.
  • Make patties uniform in size for even cooking and neat sliders.
  • Add a toothpick to keep sliders together, especially for parties.
