Ingredients
Scale
Slider Components
- 1 package King’s Hawaiian rolls (12 count)
- 12 slices honey ham, thinly sliced
- 12 slices Swiss cheese
Glaze
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Rolls: Carefully slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally while keeping them connected if in a roll pack. Place the bottom half in a greased baking dish to form the base for your sliders.
- Layer Ham and Cheese: Evenly arrange the honey ham slices over the bottom half of the rolls. Follow with a generous layer of Swiss cheese ensuring each slider has a melty, cheesy center.
- Add the Top Half of Rolls: Place the top half of the rolls gently over the ham and cheese layers, forming complete slider sandwiches. Press down lightly to keep everything snug.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds to create a flavorful glaze that will elevate the sliders.
- Brush the Glaze and Bake: Generously brush the glaze over the tops of the sliders covering the entire surface. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes. Then uncover and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and tops are golden brown.
Notes
- Use fresh King’s Hawaiian rolls for best texture and sweetness.
- Distribute ham and cheese evenly for consistent flavor in every slider.
- Do not skip the glaze as it adds essential buttery, tangy flavor and a golden crust.
- Keep sliders covered during initial baking to melt cheese without drying bread.
- Serve sliders warm right from the oven for melty cheese and glossy glaze.
