Ingredients
– 2 packages (12 ounces each) soft sweet rolls – These form the base, providing a soft, slightly sweet bun that holds everything together and absorbs the buttery topping without getting too soggy.
– 1-1/4 pounds thinly sliced deli ham – Adds a savory, protein-rich element; leftover ham works, but glazed ham brings in extra sweetness for a more flavorful bite.
– 9 slices (about 6 ounces) Swiss cheese – Melts beautifully for that gooey texture, offering a traditional taste that pairs well with the other ingredients and provides a good source of calcium.
– 24 slices dill pickle slices – Bring a tangy crunch that contrasts the richness of the ham and cheese, adding freshness and a burst of flavor to every slider.
– 1/2 cup butter (cubed) buttery topping – Creates a glossy, flavorful glaze that ties all the ingredients together, enhancing moisture and taste with its rich, creamy profile.
– 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion buttery topping – Infuses a mild sharpness into the topping, boosting the overall aroma and depth without overwhelming the dish.
– 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard buttery topping – Adds a zesty kick that complements the pickles and ham, making the sliders more exciting and balanced for all palates.
Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF and prepare your workspace by greasing a 13ร9-inch baking pan, which helps the rolls release easily after baking.
2-Second Step: Without separating the rolls, cut each package of soft sweet rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected for easy assembly and even layering.
3-Third Step: Arrange the bottom halves of the rolls in the greased baking pan, then layer on the 1-1/4 pounds of thinly sliced deli ham, followed by the 9 slices of Swiss cheese and 24 dill pickle slices for a balanced flavor in every bite.
4-Fourth Step: Replace the top halves of the rolls on the layered ingredients to form the sliders, creating a neat sandwich stack that’s ready for the topping.
5-Fifth Step: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the 1/2 cup of cubed butter, then stir in the 2 tablespoons of finely chopped onion and 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard until well combined, and drizzle this mixture evenly over the assembled rolls for that signature taste.
6-Sixth Step: Cover the pan with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the sliders are golden brown and heated through, checking for doneness to avoid overcooking.
7-Final Step: Once baked, let the sliders cool slightly, then slide a knife between the rolls to separate them and lift out with a spatula for serving, ensuring they stay intact and look appealing on the plate.
