Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 1 lb (454 g) deli ham
- 12 slices Swiss cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 ml) melted butter
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Slice 12 Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping the bottom and top halves connected. Nestle the bottom halves into a 9×13-inch baking dish coated with non-stick spray.
- Layer 1 pound of thinly sliced deli ham evenly across the roll bottoms. Top each ham layer with a single slice of Swiss cheese.
- Whisk ¼ cup melted butter with 1 tablespoon each of Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds. Mix in 1 tablespoon brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon onion powder.
- Drizzle the butter mixture generously over your assembled sliders. Use a pastry brush to coat every roll surface thoroughly.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for exactly 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for 5-10 minutes until your sliders turn golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- Allow the sliders to rest for 3-4 minutes before separating and serving them piping hot from the dish.
Notes
- Choose Hawaiian rolls for the best sweet and soft base that perfectly complements the savory ham and cheese.
- Ensure ham and cheese are evenly distributed so every bite delivers maximum flavor and texture.
- Let the sliders rest briefly after baking to allow the cheese to set and butter sauce to absorb into the rolls.
- For a lighter version, swap regular ham with turkey and use reduced-fat cheese without compromising taste.
