While planning the food menu for a New Year’s Eve party you host at home, think of sliders as an interesting appetiser full of bright flavours and a chewy texture. Inspired by holiday-themed ingredients like cranberry relish, fig jam and smoked ham, the sliders can feature patties and stuffings that resonate with the festive vibe. Easy-to-eat, fun to prepare and absolutely hassle-free, mini sliders served with chilli cheese fries and an assortment of dips laid out on grazing boards will be the only appetisers you would need to get the party started.
Cranberry And Brie Chicken Sliders
Craft a chicken patty flavoured with winter herbs like rosemary and thyme and place it between soft slider buns, with a cranberry relish as the dressing. Baby spinach and brie can be the other accompaniment inside the mini burger, that turns this simple dish into a festive treat for the New Year table. A mix of savoury, sweet and cheesy flavours, these chicken sliders can be your go-to at a classic celebratory spread to mark the winter festivities.
Honey-Glazed Ham And Gruyère Sliders
Go the extra mile and prepare a soft and moist honey-glazed ham at home, in your convection oven. Slice it into slivers and place inside slider buns accompanied by little slices of the classic Swiss cheese. What works with this combination of ingredients is a Dijon mustard spread which brings bright and sharp flavours into the sliders and some caramelised onions that infuse a sweet touch into the appetisers. For a gourmet effect, brush the buns with garlic butter and place the sliders in the oven until they are golden and crisp.
Roast Lamb Sliders
These are party sliders at their finest because they are so full of cosy, wintry flavours. Chunks of lamb can be paired with horseradish mayo, crispy onions and cheddar cheese for a combination that tastes like a mini barbecue in winter weather. Warm the sliders slightly in a steam oven or a regular convection until the cheese melts slightly. Serve them with a side of the horseradish dip and some garlic aioli.

Prawn Cocktail Sliders With Dill Mayo
Turn a retro holiday slider into a fresh, contemporary bite that can well become the showstopper of your evening gathering. Cook the prawns in a classic cocktail sauce and place them inside slider buns along with crisp lettuce and a homemade dill and lemon mayo. The sliders are fresh, light and quite vibrant: luxe enough to work as a party appetiser but light enough so they still leave room for the main course that will follow. Drizzle some smoked paprika over the prawn sliders for a slightly spicier effect.
Maple, Sweet Potato, Feta Sliders
Sweet potatoes and feta is an excellent festive coupling. The creaminess of the cheese seems to undercut some of the savoury touches of the root vegetable to bring forth its slightly denser qualities. The two go really well in a veggie slider laced with a maple syrup drizzle. Add some rockets to the recipe while building the sliders for a crispy textural flourish. Bright flavours, even brighter colours and crisp textures turn this small bite into the perfect seasonal appetiser for a New Year’s Eve gathering.
