Why You’ll Love This Recipe
These Mini Sandwiches are pure party magic: one pan, 10 minutes of assembly, and you get 24 perfect little sliders that taste like pure nostalgia and comfort. The sweet-savory butter glaze soaks into the rolls while baking, making every bite ridiculously addictive. They’re completely make-ahead (actually better the next day!), feed a crowd, and work for everything—baby showers, game day, funerals, brunches, or kids’ parties. Make two pans because once guests try one, they’ll hover until the tray is empty—this is the finger food that makes you famous!
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Use King’s Hawaiian rolls or soft dinner rolls—never crusty bread.
- Don’t separate the rolls—slice the whole slab horizontally.
- Make 24 hours ahead—flavors get even better.
- Cover tightly with foil first 20 min—keeps them steamy-soft.
- Uncover last 10 min—glaze turns golden and sticky.
- Toothpicks + little flags make them look extra cute.
- Warm or room temp—both perfect.
