Ingredients
  

For the Sliders:
  • 12 slider rolls Hawaiian rolls, or brioche sliders
  • 1.5 lbs thinly sliced ham
  • 1 lb Swiss cheese sliced
  • ½ cup dill pickle slices or more, depending on preference (I love Grillo's pickles thinly sliced for this)
  • 3 tbsp mayo
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
For the Garlic Pickle Butter:
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp pickle juice
  • 1 tsp poppy seeds optional
  • ½ tsp pickle seasoning
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Dish
  • 1 Small Saucepan
  • 1 Pastry Brush
  • 1 Aluminum Foil

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F
  2. Make the Garlic Pickle Butter: Melt ½ cup of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in 1 tsp minced garlic, ½ tsp pickle seasoning and 1 tbsp pickle juice. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of the garlic pickle butter mixture. You can use parchment paper for easier cleanup, but it's optional.
  4. Slice the Rolls: Keeping the slider rolls connected, slice them in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom layer into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Add the Mayo-Mustard Spread: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp mayo and 3 tbsp Dijon mustard. Spread this mixture evenly across the inside of the top half of the rolls.
  6. Layer the Fillings: On the bottom half of the rolls, layer the ham, cheese, and pickle slices. Place the top half of the rolls over the filling.
  7. Brush with Butter and Add Poppy Seeds: Generously brush the remaining garlic pickle butter over the tops of the rolls. Sprinkle with 1 tsp of poppy seeds, if using.
  8. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
  9. Finish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the sliders. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Top Tip:

Brush the butter right before baking to get those golden, shiny tops. Uncover for the last five minutes to get a golden bread.
