Layered with Havarti cheese and baked with a savory butter topping, these sliders are easy to prepare and bursting with flavor.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sliders

Ingredients

Sliders

  • 12 count package Hawaiian rolls
  • 8 ounces sliced turkey
  • 8 ounces sliced Havarti cheese
  • 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
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  2. Slice Rolls: Carefully cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally to create top and bottom halves for your sliders.
  3. Layer Bottom Buns: Arrange the bottom halves of the rolls evenly in the prepared baking dish to form the base for the sliders.
  4. Add Turkey and Cheese: Layer the sliced turkey evenly over the bottom buns, then place the sliced Havarti cheese on top of the turkey to add creamy richness.
  5. Spread Cranberry Sauce: Generously spoon and spread the whole berry cranberry sauce over the cheese layer, making sure to cover evenly for balanced sweet and tart flavor.
  6. Place Top Buns: Carefully position the top halves of the rolls over the cranberry sauce, completing the slider assembly.
  7. Mix Topping: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the melted butter, Dijon mustard, everything bagel seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar until well combined.
  8. Drizzle Topping: Pour the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the assembled rolls to enhance flavor and promote browning during baking.
  9. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, until the sliders are heated through and the cheese is melted.
  10. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes uncovered to allow the tops to brown slightly and the butter topping to crisp up.
  11. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the sliders warm for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

  • Turkey: You can use leftover sliced turkey or deli turkey depending on availability.
  • Cheese: Swap Havarti with other cheeses like Swiss, cheddar, or Monterey Jack or omit the cheese if preferred.
  • Cranberry Sauce: Use whole berry cranberry sauce rather than jellied; the jellied kind will melt and affect the texture.
  • Nutrition values are approximate and may vary based on ingredient brands and portion sizes.
