For the Sliders:
- 1 package King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls (12-count)
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 lb thinly-sliced deli ham (e.g., Black Forest)
- 1/4 lb deli-sliced sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 lb deli-sliced Swiss cheese
For the Topping:
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 tsp poppy seeds
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Pinch of kosher salt (optional)
Instructions
. Prepare the Slider Spread:
- Mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Toast the Rolls:
- Use a serrated knife to slice the rolls horizontally, separating the tops from the bottoms.
- Place the rolls cut side up on a baking sheet.
- Preheat the broiler to high and toast the rolls for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
3. Assemble the Sliders:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (reduce to 325°F for darker pans). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place the bottom halves of the toasted rolls in the prepared dish. Spread half of the Dijon-mayo mixture on the rolls.
- Layer cheddar cheese, ham, and Swiss cheese on top.
- Spread the remaining Dijon-mayo mixture on the cut side of the top halves and place them over the Swiss cheese layer.
4. Prepare the Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, onion powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Pour the mixture over the sliders, using a basting brush to distribute it evenly over the tops and sides.
5. Bake the Sliders:
- Cover the dish with foil and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the sliders are heated through and the cheese melts.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the tops are golden and crispy.
6. Serve:
- Let the sliders cool for a few minutes, then cut into individual servings. Serve hot with chips, fries, or your favorite sides.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a layer of caramelized onions or roasted red peppers.
- These sliders can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 325°F for 10-15 minutes.
