Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Hawaiian or brioche slider rolls kept connected
  • 12 slices deli ham
  • 12 slices Swiss or provolone
  • 4 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder or 1 tsp minced onion
  • 1 tsp honey or brown sugar optional
  • 1 tbsp poppy or sesame seeds

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Serrated knife
  • Parchment
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Slice the roll slab horizontally into a top and bottom sheet without separating. Set the bottom on parchment cut to fit. Layer cheese, then a generous layer of ham, then more cheese, then the top.
  2. Stir the melted butter with the Dijon, Worcestershire, onion powder, and honey. Brush generously over the top and into the seams. Sprinkle with seeds.
  3. Preheat to 320°F. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, until the tops are deep golden and crisp and the cheese has melted. Cover loosely with foil if browning fast.
  4. Cool 3 minutes, then cut into individual sliders.

Notes

Keep the rolls connected — assemble and cut as a slab.
Cheese above and below the ham anchors everything.
Loose foil if the tops darken before the cheese melts.
