Equipment
- Knife
- Cutting Board
- Half Sheet Pan
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- 9 x 13 Baking Dish
- aluminum foil
Ingredients
- 10 ounces broccoli florets (or 2 small heads of broccoli)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (any kind works; I used sweet hot mustard here)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pack Hawaiian roll sliders (16 connected slider rolls)
- 8 slices cheese (Colby Jack or cheddar)
- Few shakes Everything but the Bagel Seasoning (sub poppyseeds)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Prep the broccoli by chopping it into bite-sized florets. I like these to be fairly small, so even if you're using pre-chopped broccoli, chop any large pieces down a bit.
- Spread the broccoli out on a sheet pan, drizzle with the olive oil and salt, and stir to combine. Roast, stirring halfway through cooking, until the broccoli is very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the topping by melting the butter and whisking in the mustard and the Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
- Set the Hawaiian rolls out on a cutting board and slice horizontally to separate the top from the bottom (don't separate the individual rolls).
- Put the bottom portion of the rolls in a square baking dish, cut-side up. Top with 4 slices of cheese, the roasted broccoli, 4 more slices of cheese, and the top of the rolls, pressing down gently.
- Drizzle the butter sauce evenly over the top of the rolls. Sprinkle with Everything but the Bagel seasoning. Cover tightly with foil.
- Reduce the oven to 350°F and bake the rolls, covered, for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking, uncovered, until the top of the rolls are golden brown, about 5 minutes more.
