The Dreamy Poppy Seed Slider Recipe

These sliders are simple enough to be a perfect last-minute meal prep item, but fancy enough to impress even the pickiest eaters. Here is everything you need to make a huge batch:

Ingredients Checklist

• Two packs of Kings Hawaiian Rolls (or your favorite soft slider rolls)
• 1 lb ham (thinly sliced Swiss or publix tavern ham work great)
• ½ lb Swiss cheese (the more, the merrier!)
• 2 sticks of butter
• ⅓ cup honey
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ⅛ tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried onion
• 1.5 tsp poppy seeds
• 2 tbsp honey mustard
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Tip for the ambitious cook: Feel free to double all the ingredients above!

Step-by-Step Instructions

This whole process is surprisingly fast. Follow these steps for perfect, ooey-gooey results:

1. Prep the Sandwiches: Slice the rolls in half, keeping the halves together. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each roll. Layer the ham, then the Swiss cheese, and top with the other half of the roll.
2. Make the Magical Sauce: In a large bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in the honey, garlic powder, salt, paprika, dried onion, poppy seeds, honey mustard, and Dijon mustard until everything is well combined. Crucial step: Once the sauce is mixed, remove it from the heat immediately. Do not boil it, or you risk breaking the consistency!
3. Assemble and Soak: Generously brush the assembled slider sandwiches with the wonderful poppy seed sauce.
4. Bake: Place the soaked sliders in a baking dish, covered with foil, and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.
5. Serve: Let them cool slightly. You'll have soft, chewy, cheesy, and sweet sliders that are guaranteed to be devoured!
