Ingredients

Scale

Slider Ingredients

  • 1 pack of Hawaiian rolls (12 rolls)
  • 8 oz deli ham
  • 6 slices of cheese (cheddar or Swiss)
  • Pickle slices, quantity as desired

Condiments

  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Equipment

  • A sharp knife

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Rolls: Begin by slicing the entire pack of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping all rolls connected to form a top and bottom layer for your sliders.
  2. Add Condiments: Spread mustard evenly over the bottom half of the rolls and mayonnaise over the top half. This adds flavor and keeps the sliders moist and tasty.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: On the bottom half, layer the deli ham evenly, then add the cheese slices on top, followed by pickle slices for a tangy crunch.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place the top half of the rolls over the layered ingredients and gently press down to pack everything together securely.
  5. Cut and Store: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the sliders into individual sandwiches along the pre-sliced lines. Place the whole batch of sandwiches back into the Hawaiian roll bag for easy storage and grab-and-go convenience.

Notes

  • Do not add moist fillings like lettuce or tomatoes if storing sliders in the bag, as they may cause sogginess.
  • Store any additional sides, such as lettuce or tomatoes, separately in an airtight container and add them to the sandwich just before packing into a lunchbox.
  • This recipe is perfect for making ahead and simplifies busy school day lunches.
