Ingredients
- 8 small dinner rolls
- 1 cup canned pineapple chunks, drained (plus juice reserved)
- 8 slices deli ham
- 4 slices American cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried basil or Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Sliders: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut each dinner roll in half horizontally.
Make the Pineapple Topping: In a small bowl, combine the drained pineapple chunks with the reserved pineapple juice, mayonnaise, brown sugar, dried basil or Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Assemble the Sliders: Spread a thin layer of the pineapple topping on each bottom half of the rolls. Place a slice of ham over the pineapple topping, followed by a slice of cheese.
Bake to Perfection: Top with the other half of the roll and place all sliders on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve Warm: Allow the sliders to cool slightly before serving, ensuring they’re still warm enough to enjoy the gooey cheese.
