Instructions

Prepare the Slider Base

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the oven is hot enough to melt the cheese and toast the slider buns perfectly.

1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. You can also line it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.

1. Assemble the Sliders: Slice the dinner rolls in half horizontally, keeping the rolls intact. Place the bottom halves of the buns in the prepared baking dish. Layer each bun with a slice of Halal turkey ham, followed by a slice of Halal cheese. Repeat this for each slider until all the buns are filled.

Make the Slider Sauce

1. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, poppy seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. This sauce will add flavor and help crisp the tops of the buns as they bake.

1. Pour the Sauce: Once the sliders are assembled, pour the sauce evenly over the top of the buns, making sure to coat every slider. Use a spatula to spread the sauce evenly.

Bake the Sliders

1. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. This helps the cheese melt and the flavors to come together while preventing the buns from drying out.

1. Uncover and Bake Again: After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops of the buns are golden brown and crispy. The cheese should be melted, and the sauce should be bubbly.

Serve

1. Cool and Serve: Allow the sliders to cool for a few minutes before serving. This makes it easier to cut into individual sliders, and the filling will set just enough to prevent any mess.

1. Cut and Enjoy: Use a sharp knife to cut the sliders into individual pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!
