05 - Position bun tops over each slider. Brush bun tops lightly with melted butter.
06 - Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over sliders if desired.
07 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until buns are golden brown and filling is heated through.
08 - Remove from oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately while warm.
