Ingredients
  

  • 1 package King's Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls (12-count)
  • ½ pound Thinly sliced deli ham (Black Forest or your choice)
  • ¼ pound Sliced sharp cheddar cheese
  • ¼ pound Sliced Swiss cheese
  • 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1½ teaspoons Poppy seeds
  • ½ teaspoon Onion powder
  • Pinch Kosher salt (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice the entire pack of rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected as one slab. Place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Broil for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden, but don’t walk away — watch carefully!
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and place the bottom half of the toasted rolls inside. Spread most of the mayo-Dijon mixture on the bottom rolls, then layer with cheddar cheese, ham, and Swiss cheese. Spread the remaining mayo-Dijon on the cut side of the top rolls and place them over the cheese and ham.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Pour this mixture over the top of the rolls, making sure the butter is evenly distributed.
  4. Cover the baking dish with foil and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. After that, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the tops are golden and crispy. Watch closely during the last few minutes to avoid burning.
  5. Let the sliders rest for a couple of minutes before slicing. Use a serrated knife to cut into individual sliders and serve immediately.
