Description
A quick, stress-free dinner solution featuring sweet Hawaiian rolls layered with ham and sharp cheddar, topped with a savory garlic butter glaze. Perfect for busy weeknights and picky eaters.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 6 oz (170g) sliced deli ham
- 8 oz (225g) sharp cheddar cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 4 tbsp (56g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease lightly.
- Place the loaf of Hawaiian rolls on a cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the loaf horizontally in half, keeping the rolls connected.
- Layer the ham evenly across the bottom half of the rolls. Add half of the cheese, then the ham, then the remaining cheese on top to help it melt better.
- Place the top half of the rolls back onto the filled bottom half and press down gently.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic powder and poppy seeds.
- Generously brush the butter glaze over the top of the rolls, ensuring it gets into the crevices between the rolls.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Let cool for 3-5 minutes before cutting along the score lines and serving warm.
Notes
For best results, use sharp cheddar for flavor. If using shredded cheese, shred it yourself to avoid anti-caking agents. Do not freeze unbaked sliders as the texture will become dense. Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to restore crispiness.
