Preheat your oven to 350°F. This is the perfect temperature for melting the cheese and warming the rolls without burning them.
Spray a large baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking. This step is crucial for ensuring your sliders come out easily and intact.
Do not pull the rolls apart; simply use a large serrated knife to slice the rolls in half as you would slice a bagel, separating the tops from the bottoms. This will create a perfect base for your sliders.
Place the layer of bottoms into the prepared baking pan, cut side up. This ensures they soak up the flavors from the sauce and cheese.
In a bowl, mix together the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses with the pizza seasoning. This blend of cheeses will create a beautiful, creamy filling.
Evenly spread about half the pizza sauce on the bottom layer of the rolls. Make sure to cover them thoroughly for maximum flavor.
Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture over the sauce, ensuring every slider gets a taste of that cheesy goodness.
Layer the pepperoni over the cheese. Feel free to add extra if you love that meaty flavor!
Top with the remaining cheese mixture, creating a luscious layer that will melt beautifully.
Spread the rest of the sauce on the cut side of the roll tops. This will keep them moist and flavorful during baking.
Brush the tops of the sliders with the mixture of melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. This adds a wonderful golden color and flavor to the tops.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is nice and melty, and the tops are slightly browned. Keep an eye on them; you want that perfect golden brown!
Optionally, grate some additional parmesan cheese on top immediately after removing the sliders from the oven for an extra touch.
