Main Ingredients
- 1 package King’s Hawaiian rolls (12 or 16 count slider buns)
- 12–16 slices deli ham, thinly sliced
- 12–16 slices Swiss cheese
Topping Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- Prepare the rolls: Carefully slice the entire King’s Hawaiian roll package horizontally, creating a top and bottom half while keeping the rolls connected in a block to make assembling and cutting the sliders easier.
- Layer ham and Swiss cheese: Evenly lay a generous layer of deli ham over the bottom half of the rolls, then cover with slices of Swiss cheese ensuring the cheese fully covers the ham for even melting and balanced flavor.
- Combine the butter topping: In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds to create a savory glaze that keeps the sliders moist and flavorful.
- Assemble and bake: Place the top half of the rolls back onto the ham and cheese layers. Brush the butter mixture generously over the entire surface of the top rolls, cover the sliders with foil, and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 5 minutes until the tops are golden and bubbly.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the sliders from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, then slice between each roll and serve warm to enjoy the melty, gooey goodness.
Notes
- Use fresh King’s Hawaiian rolls for the best softness and sweetness.
- Slice rolls carefully with a serrated bread knife to avoid squishing.
- Brush the butter topping thoroughly for juicy, flavorful sliders.
- Cover the sliders with foil during baking to prevent drying out.
- Let the sliders rest for a few minutes after baking to set the cheese and fillings.
