Ingredients
Scale
Slider Ingredients
- 12 slider rolls
- 1 pound sliced ham
- 1 pound roasted pork, sliced
- 12 slices Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup dill pickles, sliced
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
Butter Topping
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Slice Rolls: Carefully slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping the two halves connected like a hinge to hold the fillings.
- Spread Mustard: Evenly spread yellow mustard on the inside of each roll to add tangy flavor.
- Layer Fillings: On the bottom half of each roll, layer sliced ham, roasted pork, a slice of Swiss cheese, and dill pickle slices for that authentic Cuban taste.
- Cover Fillings: Place the top halves of the rolls back over the layered ingredients to close the sliders.
- Add Butter & Garlic: Brush the tops of the closed sliders generously with melted butter, then sprinkle garlic powder evenly to create a flavorful crust.
- Wrap in Foil: Wrap the entire tray or individual sliders tightly in aluminum foil to prevent drying out during baking.
- Bake Sliders: Place the foil-wrapped sliders in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the Swiss cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through.
- Serve Warm: Carefully remove the sliders from the oven, unwrap the foil, slice as needed, and serve warm for best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute dill pickles with bread and butter pickles for a sweeter twist.
- For added flavor, consider adding a thin layer of mayonnaise or a sprinkle of black pepper inside the rolls.
- Use freshly baked slider rolls for the best texture and taste.
- These sliders can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Leftovers can be reheated wrapped in foil to maintain moisture.
