My sliders were soggy on the bottom. What went wrong?

This recipe cleverly avoids this common issue by not putting any sauce inside the sliders. The bottom sogginess can sometimes happen if the ham you use is particularly wet. It can help to gently pat the ham slices with a paper towel before layering them.

Can I use other types of meat and cheese?

Absolutely! This recipe is a fantastic template. Try it with smoked turkey and Swiss, roast beef and cheddar, or even a combination of Italian meats like salami and pepperoni with provolone cheese.

Do I have to use poppy seeds in the glaze?

No, you can omit them if you don't have them or don't care for them. Some people like to substitute them with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning for a different flavor profile.

Ingredients

Scale

1 package (12 count) Savory Butter Hawaiian Rolls

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×12 inch baking pan with butter.
Without separating the individual rolls, slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally.
Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking pan.
Layer each roll with a slice of ham and a half slice of Havarti cheese.
Place the top half of the rolls back on top of the ham and cheese layer.
Prepare the Glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter (about 30 seconds). Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce (if using), onion powder (if using), and poppy seeds.
Brush the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls.
Loosely cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for about 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the tops of the buns are golden brown.
Serve warm.

Notes

The easiest way to prepare the rolls is to slice the entire connected block in half horizontally, rather than separating them first.
Covering the sliders with foil for the initial baking period helps the cheese melt and the inside get hot without the tops burning.
Worcestershire sauce and onion powder are listed as optional additions to the glaze for extra flavor.
