Description

Sweet and savory mini sliders made with caramelized onions, poppy‑butter topping, and a creamy mayo‑mustard spread on soft Hawaiian rolls.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/4 cup honey mustard
  • 1.5 lb deli sliced ham

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the sliced onion with a pinch of kosher salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 15 minutes.
  2. Melt butter in a small saucepan, stir in poppy seeds, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce, and cook for 1 minute to make the poppy‑butter topping.
  3. Slice the mini Hawaiian rolls horizontally, leaving a hinge.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and honey mustard.
  5. Brush the inside of each roll with a thin layer of the poppy‑butter mixture.
  6. Spread a thin layer of the mayo‑mustard mixture on the top half of each roll.
  7. Layer deli ham and Swiss cheese on the bottom half of each roll.
  8. Top with a generous spoonful of caramelized onions.
  9. Close the sliders and place them on a baking sheet.
  10. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese melts and the tops are lightly toasted.
  11. Serve warm.

Notes

Assembled sliders can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours before baking; reheat briefly if needed.
