How to make this Cuban Sliders Recipe:

1. Slice the slider buns in half. No need to separate the rolls, the Hawaiian rolls come in a large sheet, with all the buns connected. Simply slice the entire sheet of rolls in half, placing the bottom of the rolls into a greased baking pan or dish.
2. Layer the sliced ham, cheese, and pickles. Then place the tops of the slider buns on top.
3. Once you have the sliders assembled, add a few ingredients (in the recipe below) to make the dijon spread and pour it over the top.
4. Cover and bake.

Ingredients Needed for Cuban Sliders: 

• Hawaiian Rolls: the sweetness of the bread adds a little extra to these sliders.
• Sliced Ham: sliced deli ham is perfect for these. Read more about the Cuban Pork down below.
• Swiss cheese: deli sliced Swiss cheese.
• Dill pickles: sliced dill pickles chips, or slice up a whole dill pickle.
• Mustard: Add some extra to the sliders if desired. 
• Butter: unsalted butter is needed for making the mustard sauce to drizzle on top of the sliders before baking.
• Minced Onion: use finely diced fresh onion or use dehydrated minced onion that is typically found in the spice aisles at most markets.

What about the Cuban Pork? 

This question comes up often! We can all agree, Cuban pork is amazing, but it takes a day to make since it should be cooked slowly. IF you have some cuban pork on hand, some leftovers, and you want to make these sliders definitely use the pork! However, this recipe is designed to be a quick, 30 minute recipe to replicate the flavors of a cuban sandwich. 

You will love how simple these are to make!
