Bake the sliders: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is thoroughly melted and bubbly, and the tops of the rolls are golden brown and slightly crispy. If the tops are browning too quickly, you can loosely tent them with foil.

Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven. If you baked the tops separately, carefully place them back onto the filled bottoms. Let them cool for a minute or two before serving. Use a knife to cut along the original roll perforations to separate individual sliders. Serve immediately with the chilled Creamy Slaw on the side.
