Ham and Cheese Sliders

INGREDIENTS

  • 12 King’s Hawaiian dinner rolls
  • 2 tablespoons Mayo
  • 12 slices deli ham
  • 6 slices swiss cheese (cut in half)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder or minced onions
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds

INSTRUCTIONS

First, preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13″ baking dish.

Next, slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Try to keep the rolls connected to each other while cutting. Remove the top section and set aside. Place the bottom section in your baking dish. Spread mayo onto the insides of both the bottom and top sections. Place a slice of ham and cheese on each roll in the bottom section. Add the top section of the rolls to the lower half in the baking dish and evenly match up.

For the sauce, whisk together the butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and poppy seeds. Pour mixture evenly over all of the rolls. Let sit about 10 minutes for the sauce to soak in.

Cover the ham sliders with foil and bake for approximately 10-15 minutes. Uncover and cook an additional 2 minutes to brown the top of the rolls. Cut the sliders according to the slices of the rolls. Serve and enjoy!
