Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 1 pound sliced ham (Black Forest ham recommended)
- 1 pound sliced Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Optional: Everything bagel seasoning for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, melt the butter. Add the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the poppy seeds, dried minced onion, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare Rolls: Slice the slab of Hawaiian sweet rolls horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves intact.
- Layer Ham: Place the bottom half of the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Layer the sliced ham evenly over the bottom half.
- Layer Cheese: Layer the sliced Swiss cheese evenly over the ham.
- Replace Top: Carefully place the top half of the rolls back on top of the cheese.
- Brush with Glaze: Generously brush the prepared glaze evenly over the top of the rolls.
- Optional: Add Everything Bagel Seasoning: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the glazed rolls.
- Cover and Bake: Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove Foil and Bake Longer: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let Rest: Remove the sliders from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Slice and Serve: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the sliders along the pre-cut lines of the Hawaiian sweet rolls. Serve warm.
Notes
- Cheese Variations: Cheddar, provolone, mozzarella, and Gruyere are great alternatives to Swiss.
- Ham Variations: Honey ham, smoked ham, and Virginia ham are all delicious choices.
- Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze or use a spicy mustard instead of Dijon.
- Add Some Veggies: Add thinly sliced onions or pickles to the sliders before baking.
- Make it a Meal: Serve the sliders with a side of soup or salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
- Make-Ahead Instructions: Assemble the sliders ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake them. Just be sure to cover them tightly with plastic wrap to prevent the rolls from drying out. Add the glaze just before baking.
- Storage Instructions: Leftover sliders can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
