Ingredients

2 packages (12 ounces each) Hawaiian sweet rolls
1-1/4 pounds thinly sliced deli ham
9 slices Swiss cheese (about 6 ounces)
24 dill pickle slices
TOPPING:
1/2 cup butter, cubed
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Without separating rolls, cut each package of rolls in half horizontally; arrange bottom halves in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Layer with ham, cheese and pickles; replace top halves of rolls.
In a microwave, melt butter; stir in onion and mustard. Drizzle over rolls. Bake, covered, 10 minutes. Uncover; bake until golden brown and heated through, 5-10 minutes longer.

Test Kitchen Tips

Hawaiian sweet rolls are tender and slightly sweet. If they’re not in your store, use egg or potato rolls, which are softer and richer than regular dinner rolls.

Really yummy and easy. Made exactly like recipe, but without the pickles.

I was skeptical, but these were great! I didn’t have Dijon mustard and had to substitute with some stone ground instead. We aren’t fond of Swiss, so we used Havarti. My family made sure I saved this recipe, and I plan to make these often. Thanks for a terrific recipe!

I made these sliders for an appetizer at a friend's house. First time making and I used onion powder instead of raw onions as some other readers did. Also- I brushed the butter mixture on and I was surprised that these were not greasy or soggy at all!! WOW. These were delicious and my friends couldn't stop eating them!! Super EASY! Not expensive to make and I will definitely make these again. This is going to become my 'signature' appetizer when invited out or if having friends over. YUM.

Why pour butter, chopped onions and mustard on the buns? That just makes finger food messy! It makes no sense!

I made these yesterday for a Fat Tuesday snackfest @ work. I made 24 (like the recipe calls for)- set them out about 9:30, they were gone within 2 hours! The top snackers ate 5 each. Everyone wants me to make them again, so I'm definitely hanging onto this recipe! Thank you!

These are easy and delicious. I have made these 3 times now and they disappear. I made them as an afternoon snack for my kids, spouses and grandchildren at Christmas and they fell in love. My daughter-in-law is playing with changes and each one makes her happy!

I’ve made these several times and they are awesome and also make great leftovers! I always use dried minced onion instead of powder or raw onions and they add another layer of crunch and bite to the sandwich. Using them this time with the leftover ham from Christmas that we cooked in an oil less fryer...can’t wait!
