PHOTO: LINDA PUGLIESE; FOOD STYLING: BEN WEINERSafe to say, it’s a real GOUDA idea to make these sliders for out-of-town guests visiting for Thanksgiving or the holidays. The herby butter made with chives (an under-used and under-rated herb in my opinion) sends these buns sliding in for a home run.
