Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) thinly sliced deli ham
- 8 ounces (226 grams) thinly sliced turkey breast
- 12 slices Swiss cheese
Bread and Base Ingredients:
- 1 pack Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls
Wet Ingredients and Seasonings:
- 1 stick (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) confectioners sugar
- 3/4 cup (240 grams) raspberry preserves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9×13 baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally, separating the top and bottom halves into two large pieces.
- Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking pan, creating a base for the sliders.
- Layer turkey slices evenly across the bottom half of the rolls, ensuring complete coverage.
- Add a uniform layer of ham slices directly on top of the turkey.
- Arrange Swiss cheese slices to cover the ham layer completely.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, beaten egg, and Dijon mustard until thoroughly combined.
- Carefully position the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer.
- Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the entire surface of the rolls, ensuring complete saturation.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown.
- If the rolls start to darken too quickly, cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 3-4 minutes.
- Dust the top of the sliders with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
- Serve warm with raspberry jam on the side for dipping, allowing guests to customize their experience.
Notes
- Swap Meats Easily substitute deli turkey and ham with rotisserie chicken, roast beef, or vegetarian deli slices to accommodate different dietary preferences and flavor profiles.
- Gluten-Free Hack Replace Hawaiian rolls with gluten-free slider buns or cauliflower bread to make this recipe celiac-friendly without losing texture or taste.
- Cheese Flexibility Swiss cheese can be swapped with provolone, white cheddar, or dairy-free alternatives for those with lactose intolerance or unique taste preferences.
- Make-Ahead Magic Assemble the sliders entirely the night before, refrigerate, and bake just before serving to save time and enhance flavor melding during overnight resting.
