Keto Brown Sugar Dinner Roll Ham Sliders Recipe (2024)

One past Sunday I needed to make a dish for my church’s fellowship dinner and this recipe idea came from my oldest son, Barrett, who had tasted a similar dish. So, I thought that I would try my hand at these sliders and I was amazed. Needless to say I didn’t take any leftovers home from church that night, because they were gone fast! “Keto Brown Sugar Dinner Roll Ham Sliders Recipe”

But, can you go wrong with melted butter and brown sugar??? Not really! The sweet brown sugar glaze will make the tops of the sweet rolls crunchy and sweet. The poppy seeds are mainly for look, lol, and have no flavor. My son suggested that the next time that I make these is too leave out the poppy seeds, because he said that they just get all over your fingers! Lol

Also, I made mine with packaged deli ham and another good idea would be to use any type of leftover Holiday ham or use any easy leftover ham.

What is the difference between breakfast sliders and breakfast casseroles?

The difference between breakfast sliders and breakfast casseroles is the use of the rolls or dinner rolls in the recipe. Breakfast sliders are mini sandwiches made with either dinner rolls or Hawaiian rolls. Usually, casseroles are a blend of eggs, meat, veggies and cheese poured into a casserole dish and baked in the oven. Which is an easy recipe, but not the same as a breakfast slider recipe.

However, you can make breakfast sliders with ham, cheese and egg. Scrambled eggs can be added to the ham and cheese in the sliders or you can add a fried egg to each slider before baking in the oven. Simply, take a large skillet and either scramble or fry your eggs before adding them to the inside of each slider.
