# How to Make It:
01 -
Set the oven temperature to 175°C. Spray a 23 x 33 cm baking dish lighty with non-stick spray and put it aside.
02 -
With a serrated knife, slice the rolls in half horizontally while they’re still connected. Put the bottom halves into the dish you've prepared.
03 -
In a smaller bowl, combine Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and 3 tablespoons of slightly cooled melted butter. Whisk until it’s nice and smooth.
04 -
Drizzle half of the sauce over the bottom rolls in the pan. Then, use the rest on the cut sides of the top rolls.
05 -
Place half of the Swiss cheese slices on the bottom rolls. Next, add a layer of ham, followed by pulled pork, and top it off with pickle chips. Finish with the remaining Swiss cheese. Press down gently to make it an even layer.
06 -
Bake the assembled bottom rolls (without the tops) for about 10 minutes.
07 -
Take it out of the oven and lay the top halves over the cheese layer.
08 -
In a different bowl, combine the remaining 5 tablespoons of melted butter with dried minced garlic, minced onion, poppy seeds, and flaky sea salt. Mix well.
09 -
Generously brush the butter mixture over the tops and sides of the rolls with a pastry brush.
10 -
Loosely cover the dish with foil and bake it for 20 minutes. Once done, take off the foil and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes until it's golden and the cheese is melted.
11 -
Once you take it out of the oven, let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, use a sharp knife to cut the rolls apart. Enjoy right away.
# Extra Information:
01 -
If you don’t have pulled pork, you can use more ham instead. Try to avoid pork that’s already cooked with barbecue sauce.
02 -
For the best taste and texture, serve them up fresh and warm.
03 -
If you're using fine or table salt in place of flaky sea salt, just reduce it to a tiny pinch.
04 -
Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, though note that the sliders might get a bit soft after storage.
