Ingredients
Scale
- 12 count package Hawaiian rolls
- 8 ounces sliced turkey
- 8 ounces sliced Havarti cheese
- 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9×13-inch baking dish. You don’t usually need to grease this dish when making sliders, as the butter glaze will take care of any sticking.
- Take your package of Hawaiian sweet rolls. Using a large serrated knife, carefully slice the entire block of rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Gently place the entire bottom section of the rolls into your prepared 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Take your 1/2 cup of whole berry cranberry sauce. Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread it evenly over the bottom layer of the Hawaiian sweet rolls, ensuring a consistent layer across all the buns.
- Arrange half of your thinly sliced deli turkey in an even layer over the cranberry sauce. Try to cover as much surface area as possible, folding or tearing larger slices to fit.
- Lay your Havarti cheese slices over the turkey. Cut regular-sized cheese slices in half or quarters to fit neatly on the smaller buns, overlapping them slightly to ensure full coverage.
- To make these sliders extra satisfying, add the remaining half of your deli turkey over the cheese layer, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.
- Carefully take the top section of your connected Hawaiian sweet rolls and place it directly over the layered turkey and cheese. Gently press down on the rolls to make sure everything is snug and secure.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the Dijon mustard, brown sugar, everything bagel seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk everything together until it’s well combined.
- Generously pour the prepared butter glaze evenly over the top of the assembled Hawaiian sweet rolls. Make sure to get it over all the buns, allowing some of it to seep down into the cracks between the rolls.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Place the covered dish into your preheated 350°F (175°C) oven and bake for 20 minutes. This helps steam the sliders and melt the cheese perfectly.
- After 20 minutes, carefully remove the aluminum foil. Return the uncovered dish to the oven and continue baking for another 5-10 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are beautifully golden brown and slightly crisp, and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once baked to perfection, remove the baking dish from the oven. Let the sliders rest for about 5 minutes; this allows the cheese to set slightly, making them easier to cut. After resting, use a sharp knife to cut along the lines of the individual rolls, separating them. Serve warm and enjoy!
