4 sweet Hawaiian rolls
4tbsp unsalted (melted) butter
1tbsp Dijon mustard
1tbsp honey
1tbsp parsley (dried)
⅛tsp onion powder
⅛tsp garlic powder
½lb deli honey ham (cooked and thinly sliced) or nitrate-free roasted chicken, turkey or beef deli slices

How to make:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside.
Add melted butter, mustard, dried parsley, honey, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Mix well.
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half to separate their tops from the bottoms. Place the bottoms into the baking tray and layer them with half of the ham.
Next, add a layer of Swiss cheese and top it with the remaining ham slices. Finally, cover the filling with bun tops to make the sandwich.
Brush the buns with butter mixture and put the baking tray into the oven with a closed top using foil paper.
Bake the sliders for about 12 minutes. Then, take the baking tray out of the oven and put it back inside the oven uncovered. Bake the slider for an additional ten minutes.
After ten minutes, take the baking tray from the oven and set it aside to let the sliders come to room temperature. Serve with homemade dip or ketchup.
