These Ham and Havarti Cheese Sliders feature savory black forest ham layered with creamy Havarti cheese on soft, buttery Hawaiian rolls. They are brushed with a flavorful mixture of melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and a hint of onion powder, then topped with poppy seeds for a perfect balance of savory and tangy flavors. Ideal for parties, game days, or quick lunches, these sliders are easy to assemble and bake to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 1 package Savory Butter Hawaiian Rolls (12 count)
  • 12 slices black forest ham
  • 6 slices Havarti cheese

Topping

  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to have it ready for baking the sliders.
  2. Prepare the Rolls: Without separating, slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls horizontally into two halves to create a top and bottom layer.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: Place the bottom half of the rolls on a baking sheet and layer the 12 slices of black forest ham evenly across the rolls. Then, place the 6 slices of Havarti cheese over the ham.
  4. Replace the Top Layer: Carefully position the top half of the rolls over the layered ham and cheese to form sandwiches.
  5. Make the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, melt the 4 tablespoons of salted butter. Stir in 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (if using) until fully combined.
  6. Brush and Sprinkle: Generously brush the butter mixture evenly over the top of the rolls. Then sprinkle 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds across the buttered top for added flavor and texture.
  7. Bake the Sliders: Place the sliders in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the rolls are golden and slightly toasted.
  8. Serve Warm: Remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before cutting into individual portions. Serve warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • For a sharper flavor, substitute Havarti cheese with Swiss or cheddar cheese.
  • To add more zest, include a thin layer of spicy mustard underneath the ham before layering.
  • If you prefer a softer slider, cover the baking sheet loosely with foil during baking and remove it for the last 5 minutes to brown.
  • Sliders can be assembled in advance and refrigerated; just bake before serving.
  • Optional Worcestershire sauce and onion powder enhance the buttery topping but can be omitted if desired.
