Equipment

  • 9×13 baking pan
  • Sharp bread knife or serrated knife
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Pastry brush
  • Foil for covering
  • Parchment paper (optional, but helpful for lining the baking dish for easy cleanup)

Ingredients
  

For the Slider Rolls:

  • Homemade Potato Flake Sourdough Sweet Hawaiian Rolls or any potato-flake sourdough rolls, kept together in a sheet
  • 1 pound thinly sliced deli ham honey ham or black forest ham both work great
  • 14 thin slices Swiss cheese
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

For the Butter Topping:

  • 6 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ tablespoon onion powder

Instructions
 

  • If you plan on using your own homemade rolls, make sure you have already prepared those ahead of time, bake them as normal, but maybe cover the rolls the last 5-10 minutes of baking so that the tops don't brown as much since you'll be baking them again in this recipe.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13 pan or casserole dish with cooking spray (or line with parchment for easy removal). Set aside
  • Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the entire sheet of rolls in half horizontally—keeping them together—so you have a top layer and a bottom layer.
  • Place the bottom half into your prepared pan.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and yellow mustard.Spread half of the mixture onto the bottom layer of rolls.
  • Add half of the Swiss cheese in an even layer (trim a slice in half if you need to).
  • Layer on all the ham. Finish with the remaining cheese.
  • Spread the remaining mayo mixture on the underside of the top sheet of rolls. Place it on top to finish the sandwiches.
  • Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl.Let it cool for a minute, then whisk in Worcestershire, Dijon, and onion powder.
  • Slowly pour the melted butter mixture over the top of the rolls. Then use a pastry brush to coat everything evenly.I also like to carefully slice between the rolls before baking so the butter soaks into every edge.
  • Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake another 3–5 minutes, just until the tops are golden brown, lightly crisp and the cheese is melty.
  • Serve warm—straight from the pan is the best way. I love using parchment paper to line my pan because it makes it easy to transfer them to a pretty dish for serving when I am taking them to parties.
