Scale
Sliders
- 12 slices Hawaiian rolls
- 8 ounces sliced turkey breast
- 8 ounces Havarti cheese, sliced
- 1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
Topping
- 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 the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or rimmed baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Slice the rolls: Carefully cut the package of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom layer.
- Assemble the sliders: Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking dish. Layer the sliced turkey evenly over the bottom buns. Arrange the sliced Havarti cheese over the turkey. Spread the cranberry sauce over the cheese, covering as much surface as possible. Place the top half of the rolls over the cranberry sauce to form a sandwich.
- Make the butter topping: In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, everything bagel seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
- Dress the rolls: Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the assembled sliders. This will give them a flavorful, golden-brown finish when baked.
- Bake the sliders: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sliders are heated through. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to enhance the golden color and crust.
- Serve hot: Carefully remove from the oven, slice if desired, and serve warm. These sliders are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for a short period in an airtight container.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a layer of crispy bacon or caramelized onions before baking.
- Use pre-sliced turkey for convenience; for a fresher taste, slice your own from a cooked turkey breast.
- These sliders can be assembled a few hours in advance and refrigerated until ready to bake.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the microwave or oven but are best enjoyed immediately for optimal gooeyness.
