Ingredients
  

For the Sliders
  • 12 pack Hawaiian sweet rolls King’s Hawaiian-style, split into top and bottom halves
  • 10-12 oz sliced smoked honey ham Thinly sliced deli-style, about 2–3 slices per slider
  • 8-10 slices Swiss cheese Emmental or Gruyère also work
For the Butter Mixture
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Melted
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey Optional; adds glossy sweetness
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper To taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or leave the roll pan intact if using the roll package tray.
  2. Using a serrated knife, slice the entire block of rolls horizontally into top and bottom. Place the bottom half in the dish.
  3. Layer cheese over the bottom half so each roll gets melted cheese. Top with even slices of smoked honey ham.
  4. Put the top half of the rolls back on. Press down gently so the layers settle.
  5. Whisk melted butter, Dijon, poppy seeds, brown sugar (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until combined.
  6. Brush or pour most of the butter mixture over the top of the rolls, letting some seep into the crevices. Reserve a small amount for serving if you like extra shine.
Baking
  1. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 12–15 minutes, until warmed through and cheese is soft.
  2. Remove foil and bake for an additional 4–6 minutes to brown the top.
Serving
  1. Remove from oven and let rest for 3–5 minutes. Cut between rolls with a serrated knife to separate sliders. Spoon any extra butter over the cut edges if desired.
