Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Sharp serrated knife
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Pastry brush
  • Aluminum foil
  • Cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 12 soft dinner rolls Hawaiian rolls work beautifully
  • 12 slices deli ham about 1 pound
  • 8 –10 slices Swiss cheese or cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional but lovely
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds optional
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Slice the Rolls

  • Without separating the rolls individually, slice the entire pack horizontally using a serrated knife. Keep the top and bottom halves intact.
  • Place the bottom half into the baking dish.

Step 3: Layer the Ham and Cheese

  • Arrange the ham evenly over the bottom layer. Fold the slices if needed so every roll gets a generous portion.
  • Place the cheese slices on top of the ham, covering it fully. Do not be shy here. That melted cheese is what makes these sliders irresistible.
  • Place the top half of the rolls back on.

Step 4: Make the Butter Glaze

  • In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, poppy seeds, and a small pinch of salt.
  • The mixture should smell savory and slightly sweet.

Step 5: Brush Generously

  • Using a pastry brush, coat the tops of the rolls evenly with the butter mixture. Let some drip down the sides. That is flavor soaking into every bite.

Step 6: Cover and Bake

  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for another 5–10 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 7: Cool Slightly and Serve

  • Let the sliders cool for about 5 minutes. Then slice along the roll lines and serve warm.
