Ingredients
Kings Hawaiian Rolls
1 (12 count) package (whole)
Swiss Cheese
18 slices (sliced (1/2 slice per sandwich))
Sliced Deli Ham
16 ounces (shaved)
Butter
1/2 cup (melted)
Stone Ground Mustard
1 teaspoon (good quality brown mustard)
Poppy Seeds
1 teaspoon (optional)
Dried Onion Flakes
2 teaspoons (dried)
Worcestershire Sauce
2 tablespoons (add directly)
Instructions
1
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the melted butter, stone-ground mustard, onion flakes, Worcestershire sauce, and optional poppy seeds. Stir gently and heat for about 5 minutes until the butter is melted and the onion flakes are hydrated. Remove from heat and set aside.
2
Slice the package of Kings Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact. Place the bottom halves in a 9x13 inch baking dish or a foil-lined baking sheet.
3
Using a brush, lightly embellish each bottom half of the rolls with the prepared buttery mustard glaze, being careful not to soak them.
4
Distribute the shaved ham slices evenly across the bottom halves of the rolls, followed by laying out the Swiss cheese slices on top.
5
Place the tops of the rolls back on to cover the filling.
6
Generously spoon the remaining buttery mustard glaze over the tops of the assembled sandwiches.
7
Cover the baking dish with foil and refrigerate the sliders for at least one hour or ideally overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
8
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) about 30 minutes before you're ready to bake.
9
Bake the sliders covered with foil on the middle rack of the oven for 10 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If desired, add an extra minute or two for a crispier top.
