Peppered Bacon, Avocado and Blue Cheese Sliders
These peppered bacon, avocado and blue cheese sliders are easy to make and full of flavor.
My inspiration for making sliders is from seeing small buns or dinner rolls in the grocery store that look really soft and fresh.
I usually find the best rolls when I’m not looking for them.
It’s when I need slider rolls for a recipe that it’s sometimes hard to find them.
Really good bread makes all the difference in the world when it comes to a delicious sandwich.
About this Recipe
Fresh soft dinner rolls match up perfectly with the delicious ingredients in these sliders.

Let’s check out the ingredients.
- soft slider or small dinner rolls (wheat or white)

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
Bacon
Place the bacon on a microwave cooking tray or in a warm skillet.
Sprinkle pepper on the bacon (just one side of the bacon is fine).
If using a microwave cooking tray, lay a paper towel over the bacon before putting it in the microwave.
Cook the bacon until its brown, and on the crispy side.
When the bacon is done cooking, transfer it onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess grease.
Set aside.
Preparation – Tomatoes, Avocado and Rolls
Slice the tomato.
Set it aside for a moment.
Cut the avocado in half.
Then remove the seed and use a spoon to scoop out each whole-half of the avocado.
Next, cut the avocado in fairly thick slices.
Set it aside for a moment.
Cut the rolls in half (from side to side).
Assemble the Sliders
Rolls – Generously spread mayonnaise on the cut-side of each roll.
Bacon – Break each piece of bacon in half and add 4 pieces (equal to 2 whole pieces of bacon) to each of the bottom halves of the bread.
Tomato – Add a slice of tomato on top of the bacon and sprinkle it with pepper.
Avocado – Top the tomato with slices of avocado (use 1/4 of the avocado slices per slider) and…
…sprinkle it with pepper.
Crumbled Blue Cheese – Top the avocado slices with…
…crumbled blue cheese.
Then add the top half of the rolls to make the sliders.
Serve
Next, time to eat.

This look colorful, inviting and delicious!
Thank you very much. I just visited your blog and it’s a beautiful site. Very delicious food and your pictures are so pretty.
Oh my oldest would go crazy for these…all his favorites 🙂 They look fantastic!
Thank you!
These sliders sound AWESOME!
Thank you Marla!
Your sliders look delicious…and I know they’re going to be a hit with my family. We raise avocados on our family farm in So. California, so we’re always looking for new ideas. My husband loves blue cheese! Bacon and avocado are delicious together. And my favorite mayonnaise! (I’ve been using avocado instead of mayonnaise lately to cut calories, but the flavor of that Best Foods is worth a few extra calories sometimes.) Thanks for posting such beautiful photos too!
Hi Mimi, you must have great recipes for avocados…and how fun it would be to have so many available for your family. Great idea to use avocados instead of mayonnaise to cut calories! Avocados are so healthy. I just looked at your website and your avocados are beautiful….they look absolutely delicious. And you even offer mail orders….what a nice gift idea! I’ll be checking out the recipes you have on your site too.
