Cuban Sliders

These Cuban Sliders are my take on the classic Cubano sandwich. These little sammies are loaded with mojo pork, ham, swiss, pickles and mustard sandwiched between buttery sweet rolls. They're absolutely irresistible! Perfect for lunch, dinner or game day!

Ingredients

Butter Topping

8 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 Tbsp. poppy seeds
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Sliders

12 count package Hawaiian sweet rolls, halved
2 cups shredded mojo pork
12 oz. deli ham, thinly sliced
8 oz. Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
1 cup dill pickle slices, about 24 total (two per slider)
1/4 cup yellow mustard

Instructions

Butter Topping

In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for butter topping until well combined. Set aside.

Sliders

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Using a large knife, slice the rolls in half so you have a portion of tops and a portion of bottoms. You want both portions of the rolls to remain connected, so there are two slabs. Place the bottom portion in the prepared pan.
Place the ham on top of the roll bottoms, then the shredded mojo pork, the pickle slices and finally the cheese slices. Spread the mustard on the underside of the top portion of the rolls and then place the rolls on top of the cheese. Pour the butter mixture evenly on top of the rolls making sure to get in between all the cracks.
Cover pan with aluminum foil and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, then bake covered for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove foil and continue to cook for 5 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Cut into individual sliders and serve immediately.

Notes

As mentioned above, to make things simple check your local market's prepared food section to see if they have a good mojo pork. You'll need about 2 cups for this recipe.

If you do decide to make homemade mojo pork check out my recipe that's linked above. You can make the pork the night before if you'd like, so the day you serve the sliders they'll be easy to assemble and bake.
