11ouncePackage Hawaiian pretzel slider rolls(such as Kings Hawaiian)
3slicesSpiral ham(or about 1/2 pound deli ham)
4slicesSwiss cheese
3tbspGarlic aioli
1tbspSalted buttermelted
1/2tbspDijon mustard
1/2tspOnion powder
1/2tspWorcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F
Slice your Hawaiian pretzel sliders in half horizontally (if needed) to create top and bottom bun halves. If you can’t fit the entire loaf of sliders in your air fryer basket at once, cut vertically into smaller sections
To the bottom buns, spread garlic aioli evenly
Top the aioli with slices of spiral ham, evenly distributed
Place swiss cheese slices on top of ham
Combine melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder in a small bowl
Brush the cut side of the top buns with the butter mixture
Place the top buns on top of the cheese to create sandwiches
Add the sliders to your preheated air fryer basket
Cook sliders on air fry setting for 5-7 minutes at 350°F, or until cheese is melted and buns are toasted
Remove from the air fryer, cut into slider sections, and serve!
Notes
You can use regular Hawaiian slider rolls (not pretzel) or even non-Hawaiian rolls if preferred. If you use non-Hawaiian rolls, add 1 tsp brown sugar to your mustard sauce for sweetness
Cheddar is a good substitute if you don’t like swiss, as it goes well with ham
You can use regular mayonnaise and add ½ tsp garlic powder in place of the aioli
Feel free to adjust or add other seasonings like everything bagel mix, poppyseeds, onion flakes, or anything else you like
If you’d like to make the sliders pull-apart instead of cutting them, trim the ham and cheese slices to fit each bun ahead of time
I don’t add butter mixture to the top of the pretzel rolls because you’ll ruin the pretzel salt if you do that, but feel free to if you’re using regular Hawaiian rolls
