Calories: 303kcal
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Kings Hawaiian rolls Original Sweet or Butter
- 12 large deli ham slices or 24 small slices
- 6 slices white cheddar cheese or provolone, swiss, or American
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 26 dill pickle slices
Honey-Butter Glaze –
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Set out a rimmed baking sheet and line it with parchment paper.
- Pull the whole “sheet” of King's Hawaiian rolls out of the packaging and remove the cardboard base. Using a serrated bread knife, to carefully cut the rolls in half creating tops and bottoms for the sliders. *You do not need to separate the rolls individually, they can bake in one solid sheet. (See photos for further clarification.)
- Place the roll tops and bottoms on the baking sheet, open so the cut-side is exposed.
- Set out a small microwave-safe mixing bowl. Combine the butter, honey, and garlic powder. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until the butter is fully melted and the glaze can be stirred together easily. Stir and taste, then salt and pepper as needed.
- Brush honey butter over the cut surfaces of the rolls. Make sure to only use about half of the honey butter so the rest can be used as the glaze over the tops.
- Bake the rolls for 4-5 minutes to toast the interior.
- Once the rolls come out of the oven, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the roll tops.
- Cut the six cheese slices into quarters, so you have 24 small pieces of cheese. Fold the pieces of ham so they are close to the same size as the rolls.
- Place one piece of cheese on each roll bottom, followed by a folded slice of ham, 2-3 pickles, and top with a second slice of cheese.
- Carefully move the slider tops back over the mini sandwiches.
- Brush the remaining honey butter glaze over the top of the rolls.
- Place the sliders back in the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted, and the glazed tops are crisp and slightly bubbly.

Notes
Tip for Success - You can separate the roles individually if you prefer them that way. It's just easier to assemble them if they're all in one solid sheet.
- Storing Leftovers - The bread will get a bit soggy, but you can save leftover sliders for a day or two in the fridge in an airtight container.
- Reheating - Enjoy the sliders cold, or pop them on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes at 350 degrees F.
