Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 soft Hawaiian rolls (dinner-sized)
  • 8 ounces thinly sliced deli ham
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice the 12 Hawaiian rolls horizontally in half without cutting all the way through, keeping them connected.
  3. Layer the bottom half of the rolls evenly with 8 ounces of thinly sliced ham.
  4. Add 8 ounces of thinly sliced sharp cheddar cheese over the ham.
  5. Place the top half of the rolls back onto the layered ham and cheese.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, onion powder, and black pepper.
  7. Brush the garlic butter glaze generously over the top and sides of the slider assembly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes until cheese is melted and tops are golden brown.
  9. Let sliders cool for a few minutes before slicing between rolls to serve.

Notes

Use thin slices of ham and cheese for even melting. Melt butter gently to avoid bitter garlic. Sliders can be assembled ahead and refrigerated unbaked for up to 24 hours. Add a few extra minutes to baking time if chilled. For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and cheese with plant-based alternatives. Freeze unbaked sliders for up to 2 months.
