Directions
Step 1
Slice the mini slider buns in half horizontally and set aside.

Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a small amount of black pepper over each assembly for added seasoning.
Step 7
Drizzle a small amount (about 1/4 teaspoon each) of balsamic glaze over the tomato and mozzarella in each sandwich for a tangy finish.
