Ingredients
Scale
- 12-count pack soft Hawaiian rolls, split horizontally
- 12 ounces thinly sliced deli ham or leftover cooked ham
- 8 ounces Swiss cheese, sliced thin (Gruyère or provolone as alternatives)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally in half, keeping the pack connected.
- Layer the ham evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
- Cover the ham with a layer of Swiss cheese.
- Place the top half of the rolls over the ham and cheese, pressing gently.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and poppy seeds until combined.
- Brush the glaze liberally over the top of the slider sandwich.
- Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes until tops are golden and cheese is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let sliders rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice into 12 individual sliders using a sharp knife and serve warm.
Notes
For a lighter option, swap butter for olive oil and use low-sodium ham. For gluten-free, use gluten-free slider buns. For dairy-free, use dairy-free cheese and vegan butter. To avoid soggy rolls, do not over-glaze and bake covered initially. Let sliders rest after baking to set cheese and glaze. To toast bottoms, place baking dish on lower rack for last few minutes.
