Ingredients
Scale
Sliders
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 4 ounces sliced ham
- 4 ounces pulled pork
- 4 ounces Swiss cheese
- 12 dill pickle slices
Butter Topping
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350˚F to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for warming the sliders through evenly.
- Prepare the Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally and place the bottom halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet that has edges to prevent any ingredients from spilling over.
- Spread the Sauce: Mix the mayonnaise and yellow mustard together until smooth, then spread this mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bottom halves of the rolls. This adds a tangy and creamy flavor base.
- Assemble the Sliders: Layer the sliced ham, pulled pork, and Swiss cheese onto the prepared roll bottoms. Then place one dill pickle slice on top of each layered sandwich for a classic Cuban crunch. Finally, place the top halves of the rolls back on each slider.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: Melt the butter and mix in the garlic salt. Brush this flavorful garlic butter generously over the tops of the assembled sliders to create a tasty crust as they bake.
- Cover and Press: Cover the sliders with a sheet of aluminum foil for easy cleanup, then place a second heavy baking sheet on top to apply gentle pressure, helping the sliders meld together.
- Bake the Sliders: Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the sandwiches are heated through and the cheese is melted. Once done, remove the top baking sheet and foil carefully.
- Serve: Cut the sliders apart and serve warm to enjoy the melty, savory flavors of these Cuban delights.
Notes
- For an extra authentic Cuban flavor, add a thin layer of yellow mustard on both the top and bottom rolls.
- Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the sliders cleanly without squishing the ingredients.
- Freshly pulling pork from slow cooking or leftover roast pork works great in this recipe.
- You can substitute Swiss cheese with mozzarella or provolone for a different taste profile.
- If you like spicy, add a few slices of jalapeño along with the pickles for a kick.
- Leftover sliders can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to preserve the texture.
