INGREDIENTS
  • One 12-count package Hawaiian sweet rolls, sliced in half
  • 1 large sweet onion, minced
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 pound cooked deli ham, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 pound Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted and 1 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. 1.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×9-inch or 9×13-inch pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  2. 2.
    Using a large serrated knife, slice the rolls in half so you have a ‘slab’ of tops and a ‘slab’ of bottoms; don’t pull the rolls apart and slice individually because you want to keep them connected.
  3. 3.
    Place the bottom ‘slab’ of rolls in prepared pan. Set aside.
  4. 4.
    Fry onions lightly in 2 tbsp butter, add mustard and spread mixture over rolls.
  5. 5.
    Evenly layer about half of the ham over the rolls.
  6. 6.
    Evenly layer all the cheese.
  7. 7.
    Evenly layer the remaining ham.
  8. 8.
    Add the top ‘slab’ of rolls, brush with 1 tbsp melted butter and sprinkle poppy seeds on tops; set aside.
  9. 9.
    Cover with aluminum foil and allow rolls to stand at room temp for about 5 to 10 minutes.
  10. 10.
    Bake covered for about 20 minutes or until cheese has melted.
  11. 11.
    Uncover and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until done as desired.
  12. 12.
    Slice into individual sliders and serve immediately. Sliders are best warm and fresh.
