Slider Ingredients
- 24 Hawaiian Rolls or Potato slider rolls
- 1 ½ – 2 pounds deli ham, sliced thin
- 12 slices Swiss cheese
Butter Sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1/3 cup onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Prepare slider rolls: Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, trying to keep the tops and bottoms connected if possible. Lay the bottom halves in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet approximately 13×18 inches.
- Make the butter sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, poppy seeds, finely diced onion, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until fully combined.
- Assemble sliders: Evenly layer the thinly sliced deli ham over the bottom halves of the rolls. Then, place the Swiss cheese slices on top of the ham. Using a spoon, spread the butter sauce evenly on the underside of the top halves of the rolls, then place the tops onto the sliders with the buttered side down.
- Cover and bake: Cover the baking tray with foil and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the sliders are warmed through.
- Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven, separate them into individual portions, and serve warm.
Notes
- Keeping the slider tops connected when slicing makes assembly and serving easier.
- You can customize with different types of cheese or add pickles for extra flavor.
- For a crispier top, remove the foil in the last 2-3 minutes of baking to lightly brown the tops.
- These sliders can be made ahead and reheated wrapped in foil at 300°F for 10-15 minutes.
- Make sure to use a large enough baking sheet to avoid overcrowding, which helps even heating.
