About the Recipe

Whoever started the slider trend should really get a metal. There is something about digging into a small little four bite sandwich that makes it extra tasty.

Not to mention the soft interior of a dinner roll encased in a buttery toasted exterior. Plus there are so many fun fillings you can do.

You can assemble them up to a day in advance, which is super handy when you are serving a crowd. It is also amazing when you want a warm breakfast, but don’t want to have to wake up at the crack of dawn.

Carlee’s Quick Tips

We have tried both regular dinner rolls, and King’s Hawaiian rolls for this recipe. Little Dude and I prefer the Hawaiian rolls, but my husband prefers standard dinner rolls. Honestly, both options are delicious.
You can assemble these ahead of time, so all you have to do is bake them when you are ready. Just cover them and put them in the fridge until you are ready to cook them.

Easy Recipe Alterations or Substitutions:

You can start with this base recipe and experiment using your favorite ingredients. For instance, you could easily substitute strips of cooked bacon or sausage patties in place of the ham.

You can also switch up the cheese. Little Dude prefers the American cheese slices, but cheddar, pepper jack, Colby jack or even Swiss cheese would be tasty options.

We like to keep the butter on top pretty simple. The Dijon mustard goes really well with the ham and eggs, so that adds enough extra flavor for us.

You can certainly add some poppy seeds or dried minced onion if you prefer. You could even try adding a little bit of brown sugar if you really like the sweet and salty combination.

Storage

Extra sliders can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days. For longer storage, wrap individual sliders in plastic wrap and put in a freezer safe container to freeze for up to three months.

Allow frozen sliders to defrost in the refrigerator overnight. Remove plastic wrap and wrap in a paper towel. Microwave for about 30 seconds or until heated through.
