Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 12 slider rolls (Hawaiian rolls or brioche sliders)
  • 1.5 lbs thinly sliced ham
  • 1 lb Swiss cheese, sliced
  • ½ cup dill pickle slices (more to taste, preferably thinly sliced)

Spread

  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard

Garlic Pickle Butter

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp pickle juice
  • ½ tsp pickle seasoning
  • 1 tsp poppy seeds (optional)

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
  2. Make the Garlic Pickle Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt ½ cup unsalted butter. Stir in the minced garlic, pickle seasoning, and pickle juice until combined. Remove from heat and set aside to infuse flavors.
  3. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with some of the garlic pickle butter mixture. Optionally, line the dish with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  4. Slice the Rolls: Keeping the slider rolls connected, slice them horizontally to separate into a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom layer flat in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Add the Mayo-Mustard Spread: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread this mixture evenly inside the top half of the rolls for a creamy, tangy flavor.
  6. Layer the Fillings: On the bottom half of the rolls in the baking dish, layer the thinly sliced ham, Swiss cheese, and dill pickle slices evenly.
  7. Assemble the Sliders: Place the top half of the rolls over the layered fillings, pressing down gently to compact.
  8. Brush with Garlic Pickle Butter and Add Poppy Seeds: Generously brush the remaining garlic pickle butter over the tops of the assembled sliders. If desired, sprinkle with poppy seeds for added texture and visual appeal.
  9. Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Finish and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the sliders. Let them cool slightly, then slice apart along the original roll seams and serve warm for best flavor.

Notes

  • Using Hawaiian rolls adds a slight sweetness that complements the savory fillings beautifully.
  • Thinly sliced ham ensures easy layering and melting of the cheese.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of dill pickles to your taste preference for tanginess and crunch.
  • If you do not have pickle seasoning, you can use a bit of dill weed or a pinch of garlic powder as a substitute.
  • Covering the sliders during the first part of baking keeps them moist, and uncovering at the end crisps the tops.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently, but sliders taste best fresh.
