Ingredients

Scale

Slider Ingredients

  • 1 package Savory Butter Hawaiian Rolls (12 count)
  • 12 slices black forest ham
  • 6 slices Havarti cheese

Butter Spread

  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the sliders evenly.
  2. Prepare the rolls: Without separating the Hawaiian rolls, slice them horizontally in half to create a top and bottom layer.
  3. Layer the fillings: Evenly distribute the black forest ham slices across the bottom half of the rolls. Then lay the Havarti cheese slices over the ham, ensuring even coverage.
  4. Close the sliders: Place the top half of the rolls back over the layered ham and cheese, forming complete sliders.
  5. Make the butter spread: In a small bowl, combine the softened salted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce (if using), onion powder (if using), and poppy seeds. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  6. Brush the sliders: Generously brush the butter mixture over the top of the sliders to infuse flavor and promote browning during baking.
  7. Bake the sliders: Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
  8. Serve warm: Remove the sliders from the oven, allow them to cool for a few minutes, then cut into individual servings and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute Havarti with Swiss or Gruyere cheese for a different cheese flavor profile.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butter mixture.
  • Optionally, add sliced pickles or mustard inside the sliders for extra tanginess.
  • For easier preparation, keep the rolls connected as a block when baking, then slice after baking into individual sliders.
  • Store leftover sliders tightly wrapped in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
