Slider Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 12 slices ham
- 12 slices turkey
- 12 slices Swiss cheese
Egg Wash
- 1/3 cup salted butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Finishing Touches
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- Raspberry or strawberry jam, optional
- Maple syrup, optional
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray to prepare for the sliders.
- Prepare Rolls: Slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls horizontally without separating them and place the bottom halves into the prepared baking pan.
- Layer Ingredients: On top of the bottom halves, place half of the Swiss cheese slices, then layer all the ham slices followed by all the turkey slices, topping with the remaining cheese slices. Finally, place the top halves of the rolls on the assembled layers.
- Make Egg Wash and Brush: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, and black pepper until smooth. Brush this mixture generously over the entire surface of the sliders to ensure a golden crust.
- Bake: Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the buns are toasted. If the rolls brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Finish and Serve: Once baked, remove the sliders from the oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm with raspberry or strawberry jam or a drizzle of maple syrup on the side if desired.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh Hawaiian rolls for the perfect sweet and soft bread base.
- Cover the sliders loosely with foil if baking to avoid over-browning while allowing the cheese to melt properly.
- Serving with jam or syrup adds a delightful sweet contrast to the savory meats and cheese.
- These sliders reheat well in the oven or air fryer for leftovers.
