Start by preparing your pulled pork. If you have the time, slow-cook a pork shoulder seasoned with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices.

Cook it on low for 8 hours until it’s fork-tender. Alternatively, you can use store-bought pulled pork to save time. Just make sure it’s high quality; it changes everything.

Next up, take your sweet rolls and slice them in half. Keep the tops and bottoms connected to maintain structure. Place the bottom halves in a baking dish, ready to be filled.

Now, unfold your magical flavor experience! Spread a generous layer of mustard on the bottom halves of the rolls. Next, pile on the shredded pulled pork, followed by a layer of ham, and finally, top with Swiss cheese.

Don’t skimp here; you want enough cheese to melt and create a comforting, gooey texture.

Grab those dill pickle slices and arrange them atop the cheese. This step is crucial. The crunch and tanginess from the pickles elevate the sliders, giving them that classic Cuban profile.

Now, carefully place the top half of the rolls back onto the fillings. You’ll want them snugly in place. It’s time for the extra flavor boost that makes these sliders unforgettable!

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced parsley, garlic powder, and salt together. Brush this mixture generously over the top of the rolls. This glaze not only adds flavor but also creates a beautiful golden finish.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. After that, uncover and let them bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.

While the sliders are baking, mix your dipping sauce. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and cumin. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Once the sliders have baked, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice them into individual pieces and serve with the optional dipping sauce on the side. Watch as your friends devour them!
