Ham & Swiss Hawaiian Sliders

 A great lunch or dinner recipe, these sliders are one of my favorites!

 Ingredients:
1 package King's Hawaiian Rolls (12 rolls)
16 slices swiss cheese
10 slices honey ham
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup miracle whip
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
3/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce


 Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix together the mayonnaise and miracle whip in a small bowl.
3. Cut the rolls, lengthwise, to form a top and a bottom. Spread the mayonnaise mixture on both sides of the roll.
4. Lay out a layer of swiss cheese over all of the rolls, then a layer of ham, and then a layer of swiss cheese again. Place the tops of the rolls back on, and then using a knife cut apart each slider.
5. Place all of the sliders in a deep baking dish, close together.
6. Whisk together the poppy seed sauce ingredients (poppy seeds, butter, yellow mustard, and worcestershire sauce) in a medium bowl. When blended evenly, pour over the sandwiches. Let the sandwiches sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the butter to set.
7. Cover with foil and bake for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted. Uncover and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes if you'd like the tops of the rolls to be crispy.
8. Remove from the oven and enjoy!

Rolls cut and mayo mixture applied to both sides.

Swiss, ham, and swiss layered onto the rolls

Poppyseed sauce applied haphazardly to the tops of the sliders

Covered and placed in the oven to cook...

And the final product!

Variations:
You can add 1 tablespoon of minced onion to the poppyseed sauce if you'd like. I'm not a fan of onions. 
Definitely a fan favorite, this recipe has gotten 2 thumbs up from several of my friends.
Happy Cooking!
