Method
- Additional Tips/Variations: You can add some extra flavour to these sliders by sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese on top before assembling them. For an added kick of spice, you can sprinkle red pepper flakes over the finished sandwiches just before serving. If you prefer a vegetarian option, simply omit the bacon from the recipe.

Next up is our step-by-step instructions on how to prepare these mouthwatering sliders!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Brussels sprouts by cutting them in half lengthwise.
- Place the halved Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are tender and slightly browned around the edges.
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare your onion jam by heating butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Add diced onions to the frying pan along with minced garlic, brown sugar, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and chilli powder.
- Cook everything together, stirring occasionally until onions become soft and a jammy texture is formed. It will take approximately 15-20 minutes. Set aside once done.
- In another pan, cook bacon slices until crispy. Once cooked, chop it into small squares using a knife or kitchen scissors.
- To assemble each slider, take one roasted Brussels sprout half. Place a piece of bacon square onto the cut side of the Brussels sprout, followed by a brie cheese slice.
- Top this up with a dollop of prepared onion jam. Then place the second Brussels sprout half, cut-side down, on top. Press gently so that all ingredients stick well.
- Insert a toothpick through the assembled sliders, securing them properly. Repeat the process for the remaining sliders.
- Serve immediately while still warm. Enjoy!
Additional Tips/Variations:
- You can add some extra flavour to these sliders by sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese on top before assembling them.
- For an added kick of spice, you can sprinkle red pepper flakes over the finished sandwiches just before serving.
