Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls, kept connected
- 12 slices Muenster cheese
- 1 pound sliced deli turkey
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise, divided
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 9 x 13-inch ceramic baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Place the melted butter in a microwave-safe bowl and let it cool slightly. Whisk in the Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, dried minced onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
- Use a serrated bread knife to slice the connected block of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Keep the individual rolls attached.
- Spread 1/4 cup mayonnaise over the cut side of the bottom slab and spread the remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise over the cut side of the top slab.
- Place the bottom slab in the prepared pan. Layer six Muenster slices over the bread, arrange the turkey evenly over the cheese, and add the remaining six cheese slices.
- Leave the top slab off and bake the bottom layer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and place the top slab of rolls over the melted cheese.
- Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the tops and sides of the rolls. Use a pastry brush to coat each roll evenly.
- Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes. Cut along the roll lines and serve hot.
Notes
- Keep the rolls connected while slicing and assembling so the sliders remain easy to layer.
- Smoked or oven-roasted deli turkey gives the filling a deeper savory flavor.
- Provolone, Swiss, Havarti, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or cheddar can replace the Muenster cheese.
- Store cooled sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze individually wrapped sliders in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
- Reheat refrigerated sliders at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes, covering them loosely with foil.
