Easter is definitely one of my favorite holidays. I love everything about the holiday: the festive baskets, the pastel colors, the beginning of spring, and of course, the delicious food. Today I will be sharing a fun twist on a classic Easter meal, because after all, when I’m entertaining family & friends, I like to put my own spin on things. These Hatfield Smoky Balsamic Pork Loin Sliders are made with a Hatfield Smoky Balsamic Dry Rub Seasoned Pork Loin Filet. The sliders are easy to prepare, totally delicious and guaranteed to please a crowd.

Our current home has a generously-sized dining room, which I absolutely love! Why? Because it means we can host major holidays at our house (our previous residence was a small townhome with a tiny dining space). Entertaining family & friends is one of my favorite things ever. I like to create a diverse menu of fun, unique dishes. I like to set the table for the season with cute embellishments and personalized details. I like to sit back & chat with the people I love. Entertaining is really so much fun! And I cannot wait to serve these Hatfield Smoky Balsamic Pork Loin Sliders at our Easter gathering this year! Keep reading for the full recipe.

Place the slices of Hatfield Smoky Balsamic Seasoned Pork Filet on a frying pan over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side, until cooked throughout. Then flip the slices. The filet should reach an internal temperature of 145°F or juices run clear. Since Hatfield Pork Loin comes pre-seasoned with a dry rub, this meal comes together in no time!

Now it’s time to assemble our sliders. Start by spreading some of that delicious sweet-tart balsamic glaze directly on the slider bun. Place a slice of the pork on top. With Hatfield Dry Rub Pork Loin Filets, these sliders are super flavorful and incredibly easy to prepare.

Let the heat of the pork loin melt the cheese. Isn’t melted cheese a beautiful thing?

*TIP: If your cheese doesn’t melt from the heat of the pork, here’s a quick shortcut: place the slider in the microwave for 20 seconds.
