Let's be honest for a moment. I adore these sliders. I really do, of course as a foodie, I do just love food.

Rolls ~ Hawaiian Roll or Butter Croissant?
This is truly a personal preference. You will find all over Pinterest many variations of this recipe made with Hawaiian Rolls and trust me, it's delicious!

But rest assured that I make these using Hawaiian Rolls too. With my older boys, the larger croissants are super nice and they don't need to eat as many of these Baked Ham and Cheese Sliders, ya know?

They turned out great! The only complaint I have is in your photos it shows some brown liquid and some white stuff. Also I couldn't find any measurements in the directions. I winged it and I guessed that the other ingredients were soy sauce and garlic powder?

Hi Jamie, All the ingredients are listed in the Recipe card at the bottom of the post. I'm not sure what you are referring to specifically but it might be Worcestershire Sauce, and dried minced onions. Hope this helps!
