Baked Ham and Cheese Sliders

Ingredients

• 1 package King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls (12-count)
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1/2 pound thinly-sliced deli ham (such as Black Forest)
• 1/4 pound deli-sliced sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/4 pound deli-sliced Swiss cheese
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1-1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Pinch kosher salt (if needed)

Instructions

1. Mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together in a small bowl for the spread and set aside.
2. Slice the slider buns in half using a serrated bread knife to separate tops from bottoms. Place cut-side up on a baking sheet.
3. Preheat broiler to high with rack in the second position (about 6 inches from element). Broil rolls on cut-sides for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted, watching carefully.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle position. Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray (reduce to 325°F if using dark pan).
5. Place bottom halves of toasted rolls in prepared dish. Spread more than half of the Dijon-mayo mixture on them.
6. Layer cheeses and meat as follows: cheddar cheese, ham, Swiss cheese. Spread remaining Dijon-mayo on toasted top halves and place over Swiss cheese layer.
7. Combine melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, onion powder, and salt in a small bowl. Distribute evenly over sliders using a basting brush.
8. Cover with foil and let stand 5 minutes. Bake 20 minutes until heated through and cheese melts. Remove foil and bake 5-10 minutes more until tops are golden and crispy.
9. Let stand briefly, cut into individual servings, and serve hot with sides.
