Why You Will Love This Recipe

I’ll tell you why I love this recipe. It was something new. After years of making the same thing over and over again, I wanted to try something new. It didn’t take too long to come up with this. I love a Cuban, and I love sliders.

Roll-cutting the pork tenderloin was how I wanted to make mine a bit different than the standard stack of pork, ham, and cheese. This way it all gets cooked together and melded into a beautiful slice of heaven.

Ingredients Needed

This recipe does require that the Grilled Cuban Pork Tenderloin has already been cooked.

Now, you can go right from the grill to this step OR you can refrigerate the tenderloins overnight and slice the next day.

It will be easier to cut and is actually a great way to prep for a ‘next day’ meal. The rest of the ingredients you probably already have. While the roulade already has cheese in it, I say add more. I like my sliders cheesy!

Tips

Use whatever mustard is your favorite. For this recipe, we’re using French’s yellow mustard. Dijon mustard would be a good option as well.

I found that two tablespoons on each side covered the rolls pretty well, but you can add more or reduce to your particular tastes.

Use your preferred Hawaiian roll you like, sweet or savory. We opted for savory.

Variations

Add spicy mustard or some pickled jalapenos for some heat.

Adding different flavored hams, such as sweet, smoky, or peppered can mix up the flavors pretty nicely.

For a more savory twist, add some minced garlic to the melted butter.

Using bread and butter pickles instead of dill will give you a sweeter version of this slider.

FAQ’s

Can I prepare these sliders in advance?

Yes. Prepare them up to the point of putting them into the oven. Cover with foil and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready, follow the baking instructions, adding 5 minutes to the covered bake time.

Can I use a different cheese?

Sure, while Swiss cheese is traditional to Cuban sandwiches, feel free to use whichever cheese you like.

What can I serve this these Cuban sliders?

Chips and dip, as mentioned before is my go-to. But a potato salad or a fresh green salad would make a great option as well.
