Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz Hawaiian-style sweet rolls about 12 rolls attached
  • 12 oz thin-sliced deli ham
  • 8 oz Swiss cheese slices
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 7 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2.5 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1.25 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp light brown sugar packed
  • 1.5 tsp poppy seeds
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with foil.
  • Whisk melted butter, Dijon, Worcestershire, brown sugar, poppy seeds, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Slice the slab of rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottoms in the lined dish.
  • Spread mayonnaise over the cut sides. Layer ham and Swiss over the bottoms, then cap with the roll tops.
  • Spoon the butter mixture evenly over the tops and down the sides. Let soak for 5–10 minutes.
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake 18–20 minutes until hot and the cheese is melted.
  • Uncover and bake 3–5 minutes more to lightly toast the tops.
  • Rest 5 minutes, scatter parsley, then separate the sliders and serve warm.

Notes

Variation: Add a layer of thinly sliced dill pickles or a swipe of honey mustard for extra zip. To serve a crowd, assemble several pans ahead, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours; add 3–5 minutes to the bake time from cold. Leftovers reheat well wrapped in foil at 325°F for 10 minutes.
