Enhanced with a tangy mayonnaise and mustard spread and brushed with garlic butter, these sliders are baked to warm, melty perfection—perfect for parties or a savory snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls
  • 4 ounces sliced ham
  • 4 ounces pulled pork
  • 4 ounces Swiss cheese
  • 12 dill pickle slices

Spread

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

Butter Topping

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350˚F (175˚C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
  2. Prepare the Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally and arrange the bottoms, cut side up, on a baking sheet with edges to catch any drips.
  3. Mix and Spread Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and yellow mustard until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bottom rolls.
  4. Layer Ingredients: On top of the spread, place slices of ham, followed by pulled pork, and then Swiss cheese. Add one dill pickle slice on each slider to enhance the classic tangy flavor. Top with the remaining roll halves.
  5. Prepare Garlic Butter: Melt the butter and stir in garlic salt to create a flavorful brushing mixture. Brush this evenly over the tops of the assembled rolls.
  6. Cover and Press: Cover the sliders with a sheet of aluminum foil for easy cleanup, then place a second heavy baking sheet over the foil to press the sandwiches slightly and ensure even heating.
  7. Bake the Sliders: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-14 minutes, or until the sliders are thoroughly heated and the cheese melts.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven, lift off the top baking sheet and foil, slice the sliders apart, and serve warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a thin layer of yellow mustard on top of the mayonnaise mustard spread.
  • Using Hawaiian rolls provides a sweet contrast to the savory meats and tangy pickles, but you can substitute with soft dinner rolls if preferred.
  • To make cleanup easier, line your baking sheet with parchment paper before placing the rolls.
  • Sliders can be assembled a few hours ahead and refrigerated; just add the butter topping and bake before serving.
