Ingredients:

• 12 count brioche style butter rolls
• 10 slices black forest deli ham
• 9 slices provolone cheese
• 6 tbsp butter (I used plant butter for a dairy free version)
• 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
• 1 tbsp spicy brown mustard
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions:

Butter the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan. Separate roll tops from bottoms using a long-serrated knife. Set tops aside for now. Place bottom halves in prepared baking dish, cut side up.

Layer rolls with ham, gently folding as you go, until all the rolls are covered.

Next, layer with provolone cheese slices, overlapping, until covering all the ham. Place roll tops on cheese.

To make the everything bagel sauce: Add remaining ingredients to a small sauce pot and cook, while stirring over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.

Remove sauce from heat and spoon (or carefully pour) over top of rolls, covering as evenly as possible.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but up to 24 hours…which makes this perfect for party prepping! Making ahead as much as possible always takes a little stress out of the party day so YOU can enjoy more of the party, right?!

Remove from fridge about 15-30 minutes before you want to bake and preheat oven to 350℉ /176℃. Cover loosely with foil, then place in center of oven and bake for 23 minutes, then remove foil and continue baking, uncovered, 5-8 minutes longer.

Before serving, use a wide spatula to separate sliders for an easy grab-n-go party food.

The everything bagel sauce has such a tasty sweet and savory flavor that caramelizes to a buttery perfection on these party sandwiches that will make your guests rave. (They will be asking when the next party is!) Enjoy!!
