Topping – This is where the magic happens! Mix melted butter with some seasonings and brush over the tops of the rolls.
If you don’t have minced onion, substitute a little bit of onion powder or garlic powder. You can replace the seasonings in the recipe with everything bagel seasoning.

Tips for Great Ham Sliders
