Featuring layers of savory ham and melty Swiss cheese baked inside soft, sweet Hawaiian rolls, each slider is topped with a buttery Dijon and poppy seed glaze for added flavor and a golden finish.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Sliders

  • 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 12 slices deli ham
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese (cut into halves)

For the Glaze

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon minced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Assemble the Sliders – Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally without separating the individual rolls. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish. Layer the ham evenly over the rolls, then arrange the Swiss cheese slices on top. Place the top half of the rolls back on.
  3. Make the Glaze – In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, minced onion, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
  4. Top and Soak – Pour or brush the glaze evenly over the sliders, ensuring the tops and edges are covered for maximum flavor. Let the sliders sit for about 10 minutes to soak up the glaze.
  5. Bake – Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
  6. Serve – Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Slice into individual sliders and serve warm.

Notes

  • Variations: Try turkey or roast beef instead of ham, or swap Swiss for cheddar or provolone.
  • Make ahead: Assemble the sliders and glaze up to a day ahead; bake just before serving.
  • For crisper tops, leave uncovered for the last few minutes of baking.
  • Great for parties: Double the recipe for a bigger crowd; they disappear fast!
