Ingredients
Scale
Roll and Spread
- 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Filling
- 6 slices deli ham
- 6 slices deli turkey
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
Topping and Garnish
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)
- Raspberry jam (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Prepare Rolls: Slice the entire pack of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls connected. Place the bottom halves evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish to form the base.
- Mix Spread: In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard and mayonnaise until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls to add flavor and moisture.
- Layer Filling: Arrange the ham slices evenly over the spread, followed by the turkey slices, then top with Swiss cheese slices, creating a hearty and layered sandwich.
- Add Top Layer: Place the top halves of the rolls back on, covering the layered fillings completely.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined, creating a smooth custard-like mixture.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Evenly pour the egg mixture over the top of the assembled rolls so it soaks through during baking for richness.
- Soak: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and let the sliders sit for 10 minutes, allowing the egg mixture to absorb.
- Bake Covered: Bake the sliders covered with foil for 20 minutes to cook through gently and allow flavors to meld.
- Finish Baking: Remove the foil, brush the tops with melted butter, and bake uncovered for an additional 5–7 minutes until the tops are golden and set.
- Garnish and Serve: Allow the sliders to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with raspberry jam on the side for dipping, enhancing the sweet and savory experience.
Notes
- You can prepare these sliders the night before and bake them fresh in the morning for convenience.
- For a spicy twist, add hot honey or sriracha to the Dijon mustard spread to enhance flavor with some heat.
