07 -
1/4 cup melted butter, unsalted

09 -
A half teaspoon of kosher salt for seasoning
10 -
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder for a subtle kick
→ Special Dipping Sauce
11 -
3/4 cup creamy mayo
12 -
1/4 cup zesty Dijon mustard
13 -
4 minced or pressed cloves of garlic

# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F and let it preheat. Use cooking spray or butter to lightly coat a 9x13 pan so nothing sticks.
02 -
With a serrated knife, cut the whole group of rolls horizontally while keeping them attached. Lay the bottom part into the greased pan.
03 -
Spread mustard on the bottom of the rolls generously. Add layers of ham, Swiss cheese, warm pulled pork, and sliced pickles. For the top half of the rolls, spread a bit more mustard before putting it on.
04 -
Combine melted butter, parsley, garlic powder, and kosher salt in a small bowl. Evenly spread this blend over the sliders, ensuring every roll gets covered.
05 -
Wrap with foil and cook for 20–25 minutes until the cheese gets gooey. Take the foil off and bake an extra 5–10 minutes for a crispy, golden crust. Brush with more butter before serving if you’d like extra shine.
# Notes:
