Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slider rolls (Hawaiian rolls or any soft rolls)
- 1 pound deli ham, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese, sliced
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Slider Rolls:
- Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally while keeping the rolls connected. Place the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish.
- Layer the Ham and Cheese:
- Arrange an even layer of sliced ham over the bottom rolls.
- Top with slices of cheddar cheese.
- Place the top halves of the rolls back on.
- Make the Butter Topping:
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Brush the Topping:
- Generously brush the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
- Bake the Sliders:
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and slice the sliders apart. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use Hawaiian Rolls: Their slight sweetness pairs perfectly with the savory filling, but any soft rolls will work.
- Experiment with Cheese: Sharp cheddar adds bold flavor, but Swiss or provolone are great alternatives.
- Prep Ahead: Assemble the sliders and butter topping separately. Store in the fridge and bake when ready.
- Add Crunch: Sprinkle crushed fried onions or breadcrumbs on top of the butter glaze for added texture.
- Customize Fillings: Swap ham for turkey, roast beef, or pulled pork for variety.
