Instructions
Grease a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray and preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
To a microwavable mixing bowl, add the block of cream cheese and the ½ jar of sugar free jam. Microwave on the defrost setting for 45 seconds. Stir. Then repeat, using 10 second intervals until the cream cheese and jam are soft. Stir to completely combine. It should have the consistency of easily spreadable icing.
Break or cut the 30 Low carb / Keto Dinner Rolls or keto hot dog buns in half and spread the cream cheese and jam mixture on both the tops and bottoms.

Melt your salted butter. Using a basting brush, lightly brush the tops of the rolls with the melted butter.
1.5 tablespoons Salted Butter
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted, ham is heated through, and tops are lightly browned but not burnt. Check after 20 minutes and put in for up to another 10 minutes as needed.
Pre-cut the sliders before serving. If using hot dog buns, cut each bun into thirds, which should yield 30 sliders.
Serve from the baking dish with a cut-and-server turner or remove to a serving dish and pre-cut the rolls apart for ease of grabbing by your guests.
