These sliders are perfect for planning ahead! You can put them together up to 2 days before you need them – just keep them covered in the fridge.
The butter sauce can even be made ahead and stored separately. When you’re ready to serve, just pour the sauce over the rolls and pop them in the oven. The rolls might need an extra minute or two if they’re cold from the fridge.

Storage & Reheating
Got leftovers? Lucky you! Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap them in foil and warm in a 325°F oven for about 10 minutes.
