Let’s Make it together
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking and helps achieve that golden-brown finish.
Prepare the Rolls: Carefully slice your Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without separating them completely. Place them on a baking dish—this will be your slider foundation.
Add Ham and Cheese: Layer slices of ham on the bottom half of the rolls followed by generous slices of Swiss cheese. Feel free to pile them high; no one likes skimpy sliders!
Mix Butter and Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter and honey mustard sauce until well combined. This mixture will work wonders in enhancing flavors.
Brush It On!: Pour the buttery goodness all over the assembled ham and cheese layers. Make sure every inch is coated because we want maximum flavor here!
Add Poppy Seeds (Optional): If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle poppy seeds on top before covering with the top half of the rolls. They not only add crunch but also make your sliders look gourmet.
Bake Them Up!: Place your baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until they turn beautifully golden brown. Keep an eye on them; you want perfection!
Enjoy these delightful hawaiian roll sliders at your next gathering or cozy night in!
