Calories: 293kcal
Ingredients
- 1 package Hawaiian Rolls (12 total)
- ¼ cup Dijon Mustard
- 1 lb Deli Sliced Virginia Ham thinly sliced
- 11 slices Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- Sesame Seeds
- Optional garnish - Cornichons
Pickled Shallots
- 1 Shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 smashed Garlic Cloves
- ¼ cup Red Wine Vinegar
- ¼ cup Water
- ½ tsp Sugar
- ½ tsp Salt
Salted Honey Butter
- ½ cup Butter - at room temperature (1 stick)
- ¼ cup Honey
- ¼ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Start the pickled shallots. In a small sauce pan, add all of the ingredients. Over medium-high heat, let the liquid come up to a low rolling boil. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside, let the shallots sit in the pickling liquid until needed, about 10 minutes.
- Make the compound butter. In a bowl add all of the ingredients and mix with a paddle attachment, hand mixer or with a fork and whisk until the butter and honey are incorporated. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Lay the Hawaiian rolls onto the prepared sheet pan. Using a bread knife, keeping the rolls attached, cut through the center of the rolls so that the top comes off in one piece.
- Spread the dijon mustard over the top and bottom of the slider rolls.
- Lay the ham on the bottom of the rolls. I like to fold the ham so one slice is on each individual roll but the sides may still overlap to lay on the roll next to it.
- Top the ham with the cheese slices, overlapping to cover the entire surface. Do a double layer of the cheddar cheese.
- Top with the pickled shallots.
- Place the roll top back on the sliders and smoother on the butter. Spread the butter on to cover the entire surface of the roll tops.
- Sprinkle on the Sesame seeds.
- Cover with foil and bake at 400F for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes uncovered.
- Optional garnish with cornichons.
