Ingredients
Scale
MAIN INGREDIENTS:
- 12 Hawaiian rolls (or slider buns)
- 1 lb deli-style roast beef, thinly sliced
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup prepared horseradish sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
SEASONING & TOPPING INGREDIENTS:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley (or fresh)
Instructions
- Position the oven rack in the center and warm to 350F (175C), preparing a 9×13-inch baking vessel with a light coating of oil or parchment paper lining.
- Delicately slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, maintaining their structural integrity, and nestle the bottom layer into the prepared baking dish.
- Apply a gossamer-thin spread of mayonnaise across the base of the connected rolls, creating a subtle moisture barrier.
- Arrange roast beef slices in an elegant, uniform layer over the rolls, ensuring complete coverage.
- Drape cheddar cheese slices atop the roast beef, allowing them to slightly overlap and create a rich, melty foundation.
- Dab horseradish sauce along the interior of the roll tops, providing a zesty counterpoint to the rich meat and cheese.
- Carefully position the seasoned roll tops over the cheese layer, pressing gently to secure the slider assembly.
- Wrap the entire dish with aluminum foil, creating a protective seal to prevent excessive browning.
- Slide the covered dish into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, until the cheese melts and rolls achieve a gentle warmth.
- Remove foil during the final 3-5 minutes of baking to allow rolls to develop a subtle golden crispness.
- Extract from oven and allow to rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving while still warm.
Notes
- Choose lean, high-quality roast beef for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Opt for freshly sliced deli roast beef instead of pre-packaged for better texture and taste.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like Swiss or provolone for unique flavor profiles.
- Customize for dietary needs by using gluten-free rolls or dairy-free cheese alternatives.
