Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×9-inch or 9×13-inch pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray, and set it aside.
Don’t separate or pull the rolls apart. Instead, using a large knife, slice the rolls in half so you have a top layer and bottoms layer to work on. Keep the rolls connected.

Put the bottom layer in the pan and put the first layer of cheese on the rolls. Spread the ham over the rolls, layer in the second layer of cheese, add the top layer of rolls, and set them aside.

Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or in a pot on top of the stove on very low heat. Add the mustard, onion, poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and stir/whisk that up to combine.
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted, 1 tbsp dijon mustard, 1 tbsp poppy seeds, 2 tsp dried minced onion, 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 tsp salt, or to taste, 1/4 tsp pepper, or to taste
Pour the butter mix over the rolls and take your time. Spread the butter mixture over the tops. A spatula works well. Some of the mixture will sit at the base of the rolls. That’s no problem.
Cover with aluminum foil and let the rolls sit at room temperature for a bit, usually 5 to 10 minutes.
Next, bake, covered, for about 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Take the foil off then cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until your heart is content. Baking time will vary based on your own oven so keep an eye on them so they don’t burn and bake until they look good to you.
Slice into individual sliders and serve. They are good warm or cold.
