Equipment
- casserole dish
- Aluminum foil
- Pastry Brush (for butter mixture)
- Microwave or saucepan (to melt butter)
- Sharp Knife
Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- ¾ pound thin-sliced deli turkey
- ¾ pound thin-sliced Swiss cheese
- ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick
- ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Dish: Set your oven to 350°F to begin the cooking process. Line the casserole dish with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with nonstick spray.
- Slice the Rolls: Keep the rolls intact and gently cut them in half horizontally for easy handling. Place the bottom half into the prepared casserole dish.
- Layer the Turkey and Cheese: Spread the turkey slices evenly across the bottom halves of the rolls, ensuring every slider gets a generous portion. Follow with an even layer of Swiss cheese, ensuring each slider gets a generous amount.
- Top the Sliders: Place the top halves of the rolls over the turkey and cheese layers, aligning them carefully.
- Prepare the Butter Mixture: Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan. Mix in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and everything bagel seasoning, stirring thoroughly to blend all the flavors together.
- Brush and Rest: Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the tops of the rolls with the butter mixture, ensuring full coverage for added flavor. Allow the sliders to rest for 5 minutes so the buns can soak up the buttery goodness.
- Bake: Cover the sliders with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes. Take off the foil in the final 5 minutes of baking to let the tops brown beautifully and develop a golden crust.
- Serve: Take the sliders out of the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes
- For added flavor, include a layer of cranberry sauce or honey mustard between the turkey and cheese.
- Use leftover roasted turkey for an even more flavorful twist.
- You can prepare these sliders in advance, cover them tightly, and bake them right before serving to ensure they’re fresh and delicious.
- Try adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for an earthy touch.
- Incorporate a thin slice of tomato or avocado for added freshness and texture.
- Experiment with different glazes, such as a maple-Dijon blend, for a slightly sweet and tangy finish.
