Ham and Cheese Sliders
Description
This recipe uses a package of sweet Hawaiian-style rolls sliced horizontally into a connected top and bottom slab that remain attached for easy layering. The bottom slab is covered evenly with half the cooked, thinly sliced deli ham and then a layer of Swiss cheese, followed by the remaining ham. The top slab is placed over the filled bottom slab. A melted butter mixture is prepared by combining melted unsalted butter with Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, dried minced onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. This mixture is poured evenly over the top of the assembled sliders and spread gently to soak into the rolls.
The sliders are covered with foil and allowed to rest briefly at room temperature before baking at 350°F in a foil-lined dish. Baking warms the rolls and melts the cheese inside while the butter mixture flavors the top crust and edges. The combination delivers a soft, buttery, cheesy sandwich with a mild tang from the mustard and umami from Worcestershire sauce.
Sliders are ideal as a party appetizer, snack, or casual meal. Their small size and layered nature make them convenient for serving multiple people. The recipe's method of baking the rolls as connected slabs eases preparation and cleanup.
Notes mention that leftover sliders keep best when stored airtight in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. For reheating, warming gently in the microwave for about 30 seconds preserves softness and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 package sweet rolls sliced in half (see directions for more details, Hawaiian, 12 rolls
- ¾ pound deli ham thinly sliced, cooked
- ¾ pound swiss cheese thinly sliced
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 2 teaspoons onion dried minced
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×9-inch or 9×13-inch pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- Using a large serrated knife, slice the rolls in half so you have a ‘slab’ of tops and a ‘slab’ of bottoms; don’t pull the rolls apart and slice individually because you want to keep them connected.
- Place the bottom ‘slab’ of rolls in prepared pan.
- Evenly layer about half of the ham over the rolls.
- Evenly layer the cheese.
- Evenly layer the remaining ham.
- Add the top ‘slab’ of rolls; set aside.
- To a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute.
- Add the mustard, poppy seeds, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and whisk to combine.
- Evenly and slowly pour the butter mixture over the rolls. Use a spatula to spread the mixture over the tops. Some of the mixture will pool at the base of the rolls.
- Cover with aluminum foil and allow rolls to stand at room temp for about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Bake covered for about 20 minutes or until cheese has melted.
- Uncover and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until as done as desired. Baking time will vary based on the size of pan used, climate and oven variances, etc. Bake until as done as desired; watch to make sure they don’t burn since all ovens and ingredients vary.
- Slice into individual sliders and serve immediately. Sliders are best warm and fresh.
Notes
- Store leftover sliders airtight in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave for about 30 seconds to maintain texture and warmth.
