Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 12 slices of deli ham
- 12 slices of Swiss cheese
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat.
- Prepare the Rolls: Without separating the rolls, slice them horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom half in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer the Ham and Cheese: Evenly distribute the ham slices over the bottom layer of rolls, followed by the Swiss cheese slices.
- Add the Top Layer: Place the top half of the rolls over the ham and cheese layers.
- Make the Glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Apply the Glaze: Pour the glaze evenly over the top of the rolls, ensuring each is well-coated.
- Let It Sit: Allow the sliders to rest for about 10 minutes, giving the rolls time to absorb the flavors of the glaze.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before cutting into individual sliders. Serve warm.
Notes
- Variations: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or provolone, and add condiments such as mayonnaise or honey mustard for extra flavor.
- Make-Ahead Option: Assemble the sliders and apply the glaze, then cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. This makes them perfect for preparing in advance of a party or event.
- Storage: Leftover sliders can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to enjoy them warm again.
