Perfect for gatherings or a fun family meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Slider Ingredients

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls
  • 12 slices ham
  • 12 slices turkey
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese

Butter Mixture

  • 1/3 cup salted butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Finishing Touches

  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • Raspberry or strawberry jam (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Slice Rolls: Slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls together as a single block. Place the bottom halves carefully in the prepared baking pan.
  3. Assemble Sliders: Layer half of the Swiss cheese slices evenly over the bottom roll halves. Next, add all the ham slices followed by all the turkey slices. Then add the remaining Swiss cheese slices on top of the meat layers. Finally, place the top halves of the rolls over the assembled ingredients to form the sliders.
  4. Prepare Butter-Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted salted butter, egg, and black pepper until well combined. This mixture will give the sliders a golden, flavorful crust when baked.
  5. Brush and Bake: Generously brush the butter-egg mixture all over the top and sides of the sliders. Place the baking pan into the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the rolls are toasted and golden brown. If the buns begin to brown too quickly, loosely tent the pan with foil to prevent burning without sticking.
  6. Finish and Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven and immediately sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar for a subtle sweetness contrast. Serve warm with raspberry or strawberry jam or maple syrup on the side, if desired, for dipping or spreading.

Notes

  • Keep the rolls connected while slicing to make assembly and baking easier.
  • If you prefer, you can substitute the Hawaiian rolls with any soft slider buns.
  • Cover loosely with foil if the rolls brown too fast during baking to avoid burning.
  • Serving with jam adds a traditional sweet touch that complements the savory flavors beautifully.
  • For a lower-fat option, you can use reduced-fat cheese and deli meats.
