  • 1 package (12 oz) Hawaiian rolls 12-count
  • 0.25 cup mayonnaise
  • 12 oz deli ham thinly sliced
  • 8 oz Swiss cheese sliced
For the topping
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp poppy seeds
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder

Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch baking dish

Method
 

Assemble the sliders
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F and coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Without separating the rolls, slice the entire slab horizontally.
  3. Place the bottom half in the prepared dish.
  4. Spread the cut side of the bottom half with mayonnaise.
  5. Layer on the ham and Swiss cheese.
  6. Place the top half of the rolls over the filling.
Make the topping
  1. Melt the butter in a small bowl.
  2. Whisk in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, and onion powder.
Bake the sliders
  1. Brush the topping evenly over the rolls and cover the dish with foil.
  2. Bake for 15 minutes.
  3. Uncover and bake for 5 to 8 minutes, until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
  4. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For even coverage, brush the topping over the rolls before covering the dish. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days; freeze for up to 2 months. For a lower-sodium variation, choose reduced-sodium deli ham and Swiss cheese.
