Savory ham and cheese sliders made with King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls, layered cheeses and ham, finished with a buttery poppy-seed topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls (12-count)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 pound thinly-sliced deli ham (such as Black Forest)
- 1/4 pound deli-sliced sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 pound deli-sliced Swiss cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1–1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- pinch kosher salt, if needed
Instructions
- To make the slider spread, stir together mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard in a small bowl and set aside.
- Using a serrated bread knife, slice the slider buns in half to separate the tops from the bottoms and place them cut side up on a baking sheet.
- Preheat your oven’s broiler to high with the rack in the second position down from the top (about 6 inches from the broiler element) and broil the rolls on the cut sides only for 1?2 minutes until lightly toasted, watching closely so they don’t burn.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with the rack in the middle position and lightly spray a glass or light-colored ceramic baking dish with cooking spray (if using a pan with a darker interior, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F).
- Place the bottom half of the toasted rolls in the prepared baking dish and spread a little more than half of the Dijon-mayo mixture onto the rolls in the baking dish.
- Assemble the sliders by layering the cheeses and meat in the following order: cheddar cheese, ham, Swiss cheese, then spread the remaining Dijon-mayo onto the toasted side of the top half of the rolls and place them over the Swiss layer.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, onion powder, and a pinch of salt (if using), pour over the sliders, and use a basting or pastry brush to distribute the butter and poppy seeds evenly over the tops and sides.
- Cover with foil and let stand for 5 minutes, then bake for 20 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted; remove the foil and continue baking for 5?10 minutes until the tops are golden and crispy, watching carefully so they don’t get too dark.
- Let the sliders stand for a few minutes, cut into individual servings, and serve hot with potato chips, fries, or your favorite sandwich sides.
