Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 12-count package Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 1/2 pound deli-sliced ham
  • 1/2 pound sliced Swiss cheese

Condiments (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

Butter Glaze

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready to bake the sliders evenly.
  2. Slice Rolls: Carefully slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls horizontally in half, keeping the top and bottom halves intact as one piece each to maintain the sandwich structure.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Place the bottom half of the sliced rolls into a 9×13-inch baking dish, forming the base layer for your sliders.
  4. Spread Mayonnaise: If using, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise evenly over the bottom half of the rolls to add moisture and flavor.
  5. Layer Ham: Arrange all the sliced deli ham evenly over the mayonnaise-covered bottom half to provide a savory layer.
  6. Add Cheese: Place sliced Swiss cheese over the ham layer to add a creamy, melty texture when baked.
  7. Spread Mustard on Top Rolls: If using, spread Dijon mustard on the inside of the top half of the rolls to enhance the flavor profile.
  8. Assemble Sliders: Carefully place the top half of the rolls over the cheese to complete the sandwich slab.
  9. Mix Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, onion powder, and garlic powder to create a flavorful glaze.
  10. Apply Glaze: Pour the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the assembled rolls, gently spreading it to coat all surfaces for maximum flavor.
  11. Cover and Bake: Loosely cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to retain moisture and bake for 15 minutes at 350°F.
  12. Uncover and Finish Baking: Remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for an additional 5 minutes or until the tops are golden and slightly crispy.
  13. Rest and Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual servings to allow the cheese to set slightly.

Notes

  • Mayonnaise and Dijon mustard are optional but add extra moisture and flavor.
  • Use freshly sliced deli ham and good-quality Swiss cheese for best taste.
  • You can prepare the sliders a few hours ahead and refrigerate before baking.
  • Ensure to cover sliders loosely with foil while baking to prevent drying out.
  • Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven or microwave.
