Hot Italian Ham & Swiss Sliders

Buttery, garlicky, slightly tangy, and perfectly melty—these party sliders disappear fast. A drizzle of The Olive Leaf Garlic Olive Oil under the rolls and a savory butter topping with Tuscan Herb Olive Oil soak each bun for big flavor without any fuss. Ideal for game day, tailgates, and weeknights when you’re feeding a crowd.

Ingredients (Makes 32 sliders)

Sliders

• 32 King’s Hawaiian rolls (2 sheets of 16), split horizontally but left connected
• 1½ lb thin-sliced deli ham
• 16 oz thinly sliced baby Swiss cheese
• The Olive Leaf Garlic Olive Oil, for drizzling

Savory Butter Topping

• 5 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 5 Tbsp The Olive Leaf Tuscan Herb Olive Oil
• 4½ tsp deli mustard (Best Boy Bourbon Barrel if you have it)
• 2½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp garlic & herb seasoning (or Italian seasoning)
• 3 tsp poppy seeds

Directions

1. Prep. Heat oven to 350°F. Place each roll “bottom” (still connected) into a 9×13 pan (you’ll use two pans). Drizzle the cut sides lightly with Garlic Olive Oil.
2. Layer. Cover evenly with all the ham, then all the Swiss. Top with the roll “lids.”
3. Mix the topping. In a bowl, whisk melted butter, Tuscan Herb Olive Oil, mustard, Worcestershire, seasoning, and poppy seeds.
4. Soak & bake. Spoon or brush the mixture over the roll tops, making sure every surface is coated. Bake 16–19 minutes, until hot through and lightly browned.
5. Serve. Rest 2 minutes, then cut apart and serve warm.

Make-Ahead & Reheat

• Assemble up to 6 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate. Bake 20–24 minutes, loosely tented with foil for the first 10 minutes.
• Reheat leftovers at 325°F for 8–10 minutes.
