Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • small mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • pastry brush
  • aluminum foil
  • oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Without separating the rolls, slice the entire slab of rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Layer the ham evenly over the bottom rolls, then top with the Swiss cheese slices. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  5. Brush or pour the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls, letting it soak into the edges. Sprinkle with parsley if using.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for 5 to 10 minutes more, until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
  8. Let the sliders rest for 2 to 3 minutes, then separate and serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the butter mixture soak into the rolls for a few minutes before baking. You can substitute cheddar or provolone for the Swiss cheese, and use black forest ham or honey ham if preferred.
