Ingredients

Servings: 6 servings
  • 1 package hawaiian or potato rolls
  • 6-10 slices ham
  • 6-8 slices cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  • Slice the rolls: Keeping the rolls connected, cut the whole slab in half sideways so you have one big top and one big bottom. Place the bottom half in the baking dish.
  • Layer: Add half the cheese, then the ham, then the rest of the cheese. Set the top half of the rolls back on.
  • Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until it smells good. Stir in the honey, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and poppy seeds. Take it off the heat and stir in the parsley, if using.
  • Add the sauce: Pour or brush the sauce evenly over the tops of the rolls, letting it soak into all the little cracks.
  • Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 5 to 8 more minutes, until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
  • Rest and serve: Let the sliders rest for about 5 minutes so the cheese can set, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Any cheese works here, but we love Swiss or provolone.
  • These are best fresh, but leftovers reheat well. Warm them covered in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes.
