Ham and Cheese Sliders are small baked sandwiches made with soft dinner rolls layered with ham and cheese. Hawaiian-style rolls are especially popular because their subtle sweetness pairs beautifully with salty ham and savory cheese.

Equipment

Ingredients

12 Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls kept connected
12 oz slices of deli ham
12 oz sliced mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp unsalted butter softened

Poppy Seed Topping

3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp poppy seeds
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4-1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 8x11-inch (or 9x13" if your rolls are larger) baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Without separating the rolls, slice the entire slab of Hawaiian rolls horizontally. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
Spread the softened butter over the bottom rolls, then spread the Dijon mustard evenly on top.
Layer half of the cheese over the rolls, followed by the ham, then finish with the remaining mozzarella. This creates a perfectly melty layer of cheese on both sides of the ham. Place the top half of the rolls back on.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops and sides of the rolls, allowing it to seep into the seams.
Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 2-3 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
