300g sliced Havarti cheese
250g sliced ham (deli or home-cooked)

Instructions

Slice the rolls in half lengthwise without separating them. Place the bottom halves in a greased 9×13 baking dish.
Spread mayonnaise and mustard on the cut side of each half. Layer ham slices evenly over the bottoms, then add Havarti cheese. Place the top halves back on.
In a bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder, onion flakes, and poppy seeds. Brush generously over the tops of the sliders.
Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 5–7 minutes, until the tops are golden and crisp.
Use a serrated knife to cut between sliders and serve immediately while gooey and warm.

Notes

You can substitute the ham with turkey or roast chicken. Havarti’s creamy melt pairs well with many proteins. These sliders can be made ahead and stored in the fridge overnight before baking. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep the buttery crust crisp.
