Ingredients
Scale
Sliders
- 1 package Savory Butter Hawaiian Rolls (12 count)
- 12 slices black forest ham
- 6 slices Havarti cheese
Buttery Topping
- 4 tbsp salted butter
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 1/4 tsp onion powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Prepare Rolls and Baking Dish: Slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without separating the individual rolls. Remove the top half and set it aside. Lightly grease a 9×12 inch baking pan with butter and place the bottom half of the rolls inside.
- Add Ham and Cheese: Layer each individual roll on the bottom half with one slice of black forest ham and half a slice of Havarti cheese, evenly distributing the ingredients across the rolls.
- Prepare and Add Buttery Topping: In a microwavable bowl, melt the salted butter by heating it for about 30 seconds. Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce (if using), onion powder (if using), and poppy seeds until well combined. Place the top half of the rolls back onto the layered bottom half, then brush the entire top surface generously with the butter-poppy seed mixture.
- Bake: Loosely cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the buns turn golden brown.
Notes
- For a stronger mustard flavor, use whole-grain Dijon mustard instead of smooth.
- If Worcestershire sauce or onion powder is unavailable or undesirable, you can omit them without significantly altering flavor.
- These sliders can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Use a sharp cheese slicer to get even slices of Havarti for consistent layering.
- Leftover sliders refrigerate well and can be reheated in the oven wrapped in foil to maintain softness.
