Method
Sauce & Prep
- 1
Make the Russian-style sauce
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon hot sauce (if using), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk until smooth and taste; adjust seasoning or heat as desired. Chill in the refrigerator while you assemble sliders.
- 2
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking dish or rimmed sheet pan slightly larger than the 12 buns so sliders fit snugly but not crowded.
Assemble Sliders
- 3
Slice the 12 mini brioche buns in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact as sets.
- 4
Place the bottom halves of the buns in a single layer in the prepared baking dish so they touch; this helps keep sliders together during baking.
- 5
Spread about 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of the Russian-style sauce onto each bottom bun. Reserve remaining sauce for serving or additional spreading.
- 6
Divide the 1 lb sliced pastrami evenly among the 12 bottoms (about 1.3 ounces per slider). Fold or stack slices so each slider has a generous but not overflowing portion.
- 7
Cut the 6 Swiss cheese slices into halves and place one half slice over the pastrami on each slider so every slider has cheese.
- 8
Top each cheese-covered pastrami stack with one dill pickle chip, centered.
- 9
Place the top halves of the buns over each assembled slider.
Butter Topping & Bake
- 10
Melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley, and 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (if using).
- 11
- 12
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 8 minutes to warm the pastrami and melt the cheese.
- 13
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 3–5 minutes until tops are golden and buttered. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- 14
Remove sliders from oven and let rest 2 minutes. Serve warm with remaining Russian-style sauce on the side for dipping or spreading.
