Everything Ham Sliders

Just like me, you've seen these everywhere online and they look GOOD.

I can't leave well enough alone and I had to do my own version.  I haven't had the other ones out there, but these are better than they are.  They simply MUST be.


Everything Ham Sliders

2 pkgs King's Sweet Hawaiian Rolls
1 lb Sliced Havarti (Recommend Boar's Head)
1 lb Sliced Ham (Recommend Sara Lee Brown Sugar)
1-1/2 sticks Butter, melted
2-3 tsp Spicy Brown or Dijon Mustard 
2-3 tsp Worcestershire

Melt butter and add mustard, Worcestershire and 2 tablespoons of the Everything Bagel Topping. Set aside. 

Keeping buns attached, slice them in half with a long bread knife.  It's okay if they aren't perfect or even.  Do your best.

Place the bottoms halves into the pan or dish of your choice.  Both will fit in a jelly roll or you can use a 13 x 9 for each one.  You don't want them to be squished, but the vessel isn't that important. It just needs to have sides, so a flat cookie sheet won't work.

Layer half of the ham evenly on one of the bottom halves.  Make sure you go edge to edge.  Layer the remaining ham on the second half of the rolls.  

Layer the cheese evenly over the ham on both of the loaves.  Again, make sure you go edge to edge.

Place the top half of the rolls over your cheese.  Pour the butter mixture over the rolls, trying to keep it as even as you can.  Some will run down the sides and that's okay.  Once all of the butter has been poured over the sandwiches, evenly sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of Everything Bagel Topping over your sandwiches.

Cover with foil.  At this point, you can pop them in the fridge overnight or just throw them in the oven.  Heat your oven to 350 degrees.  Put the rolls in for 15 - 20 minutes.  Turn the oven down to 200 and remove the foil.  Leave them in for another 20 minutes to crisp up.  They are pretty forgiving, so you can hold them in a warm oven for a while if you are awaiting for guests.

Before serving, slice the rolls apart and let your guests enjoy the melty goodness!  Or, just eat the all yourself.  That's perfectly understandable.
