Ingredients

  • 12 Hawaiian style rolls cut in half crosswise, do not separate the rolls
  • 3/4 lb deli ham thinly sliced
  • 1/2 lb swiss cheese sliced
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray. Place the bottom half of the rolls on the pan.
  • Layer the ham on top of the rolls, then layer the cheese over the ham.
  • Place the tops of the rolls over the cheese.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, mustard, poppy seeds, dried onion and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Drizzle the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls.
  • Cover the sandwiches with foil and bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover the rolls and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes until the tops of the rolls are lightly browned.
  • Sprinkle parsley over the top. Cut into individual sandwiches and serve immediately.

Notes

  1. This recipe as written makes 12 sandwiches, I find that most people eat about 2 sliders. You can easily double or triple the recipe to feed a crowd.
  2. You can use any variety of ham - I typically use honey ham or smoked ham, the key is to make sure it's thinly sliced.
  3. I use Swiss cheese because it's classic, but you can absolutely try a different type of cheese. Other great options are cheddar, mozzarella, jack cheese or provolone.
  4. These sandwiches can be assembled up to 4 hours in advance. Store them covered in the fridge until you're ready to put them in the oven.
