These easy Pull Apart Garlic Butter Spinach and Artichoke Dip Sliders are such fun. They’re an easy appetizer for everything from game day to holiday parties. Soft dinner rolls stuffed with homemade spinach and artichoke dip. Each handheld slider is cheesy on the inside, yet golden toasty outside, with a delicious roasted garlic butter topping. Serve these sliders warm for an appetizer that everyone will love this holiday season. There never seems to be enough of these fun cheesy sliders. So be sure to make a double batch to enjoy with family and friends.
It’s officially holiday appetizer season and I’m embracing it more than ever this year. We all know that I tend to share appetizers only around the holidays. That’s just when they come to mind for me – everyone needs holiday appetizers.
And I’m excited, as I have a few new ones I plan to share between now and Christmas. But we’ll kick off the season with these cheesy spinach dip buns.
If you’ve followed me since the early years, some of you may remember or maybe even made, my spinach and artichoke stuffed soft pretzels. It’s a forever recipe for me, meaning I make those pretzels pretty much every holiday season. And to this day, they remain one of our most popular recipes.
Cheesy stuffed pretzels are hard to not love, but the same goes for these sliders.
They’re a million times easier, and well, the garlic butter might just make these even more delicious. You and your guests are going to love them!
I’ve been loving the addition of roasted garlic to recipes lately. So I thought a little roasted garlic butter would be perfect to make these special for the holidays.
Roasting garlic is really easy. If you’ve never done it before it really adds a layer of deliciousness to your recipes. I find that it reduces the pungency of garlic, making it easier for everyone to enjoy.
Slice the top portion of the garlic head off to reveal the cloves. Then place the garlic on a small piece of foil, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap the garlic up. Roast for about 30 minutes, until the garlic is deeply golden and soft.
While the garlic roasts, mix the dip. Simply cream cheese, sour cream, frozen spinach, and artichokes. Then I love to mix in fontina and asiago cheese. And for added flavor, onion powder and a good pinch of chili flakes.
For the slider rolls, you’ll need a soft loaf of pull-apart dinner rolls. I used the King’s Hawaiian Rolls.
Slice the rolls in half lengthwise and layer on the spinach dip. Finish with pickled jalapeños, which give these a nice kick and make them delish.
Add the top half of the rolls and that’s it, spinach dip in a roll! But the roasted garlic butter makes everything special.
Squeeze out the roasted garlic cloves and add them to a small bowl with butter, oregano, parsley, and chili flakes. I go heavy on the chili flakes, but do what’s right for you! Then add a little parmesan cheese.
Spread the butter over the top of the rolls, letting it seep into the nooks and crannies. Wrap the rolls in foil and throw them into the oven. Serve these up as soon as they come out. You’ll want to enjoy these while they’re warm, creamy, and delicious!
A great holiday app! You can prep the recipe ahead of time too, then bake the rolls just before guests begin to arrive.
The perfect welcoming, deliciousness for guests to enjoy! You can’t beat these!

Can you substitute the cream cheese with something else? Sour cream?
Hey Samantha,
Sure, I don’t see why sour cream wouldn’t work for you! Let me know if you give this recipe a try, I hope you love it! xT
I made these for book club last night and will be making them again for Super Bowl in a few weeks! I made half without jalapeños and half with and the jalapeños were favored. It wasn’t too spicy with the creamy dip. So so good, a new steady appetizer!
Hey Kaley,
Happy Friday!! I appreciate you trying this recipe and sharing your review, so glad to hear it was a hit!⛄️ xT
I made these for our delayed family Christmas and they were FANTASTIC! Definitely add some pickled jalapeños to the mix! My BIL raved about these and told everyone they were the best dish of the party (second best was the pizza sliders).
Hey Marissa,
Wonderful!! I love to hear that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks a lot for making it! xT

Hey Lauren,
Happy New Year!!🎆 I love to hear that this recipe was a winner, thanks so much for giving it a try and sharing your review! xT
These were, quite literally, the BEST appetizers I have ever had. I made them for a small party on Christmas and we had a few other little things, but everyone had doubles of these! We were lucky enough to bring back leftovers and they were even better the next day (if possible!) I usually never review things because I’m lazy (lol), but I had to let you know how great these were. And these will definitely be on my permanent rotation!
Hey Stephanie,
Awesome!! I love to hear that this recipe turned out well for you and appreciate you giving it a try! xT
Amazing – as always. We loved this recipe. Easy to make and I just love the idea of putting this dip into rolls. We will definitely make again!
Hey Shana,
Happy Holidays!!☃️ I appreciate you making this recipe and sharing your feedback, so glad to hear it was enjoyed! xT
I wanted to love these. It all went well until I took the foil off. 10 more min. without foil resuled in a few of them being burned and unedible. Also, I used all of the mixture because it did not say to hold any of it back and i felt like their was too much in the sliders.
Hi Wendy,
Thanks for making these and sharing your feedback, sorry to hear they were not enjoyed. I would say towards the end of baking it’s always important to keep an eye on your food, regardless of what it is:) xx
I made these sliders , no jalapeños, and will do again for Christmas eve, but this time I will add less green stuffing to rolls and double the roasted garlic to two heads. Will also add more cheese to make them really gooey. I think i didn’t add enough cheese last time🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for sharing your feedback Deb!! Happy Holidays! xT
I made these last night and they were FANTASTIC!! Just a few changes but nothing major.. well, kind of. First, I don’t buy dinner rolls, I make them. 🙂 Sally’s soft rolls are also FANTASTIC! Back to Teighan’s awesome recipe though. I omitted the chili flakes and jalapeno so my little ones would eat them. I also boiled two large chicken breasts, then shredded them in the mixer, (since it was already out for the dough), and added fresh cracked pepper and seasoned salt to the bowl. I did this to add some protein so I could feel okay about serving this for dinner (OMG, I LOVE spinach artichoke dip and baked sliders so how could I not make these even without a party to serve them to? I just couldn’t wait once I saw this!) A couple of these babies next to a big leafy salad made for one of the best dinners I’ve had in a while.
Thanks for another great one Tieghan!
Hey Melissa,
Happy Friday!!❄️🧑🎄 I appreciate you making this recipe and sharing your review, so glad to hear it turned out well for you! xx
I made these last night for my annual Christmas Craft night with girlfriends, along with the goat cheese stuffed bacon wrapped dates (OMG YUM), crispy cheesy sweet potato bites, and pomegranate champagne mules. What a bug-eyed hit!!! People’s eyes were popping out of their head from pleasure! I have made other slider recipes from HBH but this one is BY FAR the best, and easiest. I roasted an extra large garlic head and made extra garlic butter for topping – UNREAL! They were devoured in minutes! Will definitely be making these again for future get togethers. Thanks for another impressive recipe, Tieghan 🙂
Hey Allison,
Awesome!! Thanks so much for making this recipe and sharing your review! Love to hear that it was enjoyed! Happy Sunday!🎄
Huge thanksgiving hit and a favorite for sports night. I only wish these stayed warm and gooey in perfect form for longer than 30min. After it’s a congealed thing and you need to reheat
Hey Mariana,
Happy Monday! Thanks so much for giving this recipe a try, I am so glad it turned out well for you! Thanks for your comment! xT
