Ham and Cheese Sliders with Poppy Seed Sauce
Ham and Cheese Sliders
Ingredients
- 24 Hawaiian Rolls
- 24 Black forest ham slices
- 24 small slices Swiss cheese or American
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds optional
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 Tablespoon minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Slice rolls lengthwise with a large serrated knife. I first fold down the cardboard edges of the Hawaiian rolls. They will be stuck to the bottom of this cardboard form. Do not separate the slab from the cardboard yet. Take your long serrated knife and cut through the slab of rolls in a horizontal direction making a top and bottom layer. Carefully, slide your serrated knife between the cardboard and the bottom layer of the rolls, separating the rolls from the cardboard.
- Gently lift the two layers of rolls into your greased 9 x 12” baking pan. Remove the top section of the rolls back to the cardboard, so that you can make the sandwiches.
- Spread mayonnaise on the the bottom layer of the rolls. Place ham slices on top of mayonnaise, being sure to get ham to the outer edge of the rolls. Next, cover the ham with the sliced cheese. Carefully place the lid fo the sandwich on top of the cheese.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, optional poppy seeds, mustard, onion and Worcestershire sauce. Pour melted butter evenly over all of the sandwiches. You do not have to use all of the sauce! Just use enough to cover the tops. Let sit 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until cheese melts. Uncover and cook for 2 additional minutes or until tops of the rolls are slightly brown and crispy. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes after you take out of the oven and cut sliders apart at the seams of the buns. Serve warm. Note: Sandwiches can be assembled ahead of time. I don't like to do it more than a day ahead because they can get soggy from the mayo mixture. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
