Equipment

Ingredients

Cooking spray
18 Hawaiian rolls
¼ cup prepared yellow mustard
2 Tablespoons honey
9-12 slices deli ham (about ¾ pound)
8-10 slices swiss cheese (about ½ pound)
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9" x 13" baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
Carefully cut the Hawaiian rolls through the middle trying to keep the tops and bottoms in one piece. Set the tops aside and place the bottoms into the greased baking pan.
Bake uncovered for 5 minutes and remove from oven.
While the bun bottoms are baking whisk together the prepared yellow mustard and honey until well combined.
Spread the honey mustard in an even layer on the bun bottoms.
Top with an even layer of ham.
Top with an even layer of Swiss cheese.
Place the bun tops on top of the sliders.
In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, poppy seeds and onion powder until well combined. Brush this mixture evenly onto the tops of the buns.
Return pan to oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the bun tops are golden and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

Notes

Try to keep the Hawaiian roll tops and bottoms in one piece when you cut them in half. I use a really sharp serrated knife (a bread knife works too) and slowly cut through the middle, making sure to keep an eye on both sides so as not to thin out the tops or bottoms too much.

Bake the bottom buns for a few minutes so the honey mustard sauce doesn't make the bottom buns soggy.

I gave a range of amounts for the ham and cheese slices because each brand is a little different in terms of size. Definitely add more or less based on your preference.

Don't skip the butter step for the top buns, trust me!

If you want extra honey mustard sauce for dipping, double the ingredients.

Ingredients to prep ahead- you can slice the buns in half and whisk together the honey mustard sauce ahead of time.

Leftovers and storage- These will last for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
