Ham and Cheese Sliders
Prep time: 5 minutes / Cook time: 25 minutes
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 12 slider buns (like Hawaiian rolls)
- ½ lbs thinly sliced cooked ham
- 12 slices Swiss cheese
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp minced onion
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the slider buns in half. Place the bottom halves in a baking dish.
Spread mayonnaise on the buns.
Layer Swiss cheese on top of the mayo layer.
Add ham and another layer of Swiss cheese on top.
Cover with the top halves of the buns.
In a bowl, mix together melted butter, Dijon mustard, minced onion, poppy seeds.
Brush the glaze generously over the top of the sliders, making sure to cover them evenly.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and crispy.
Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before serving.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of roll instead of Hawaiian rolls?
Absolutely! While Hawaiian rolls add a touch of sweetness, any soft, prebaked slider or dinner roll will work perfectly for this recipe.
Can I make these sliders ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the sliders a few hours before your party, cover them tightly, and refrigerate. Just pop them in the oven when you’re ready to serve.
What other cheeses can I use besides Swiss?
Feel free to swap in cheddar, provolone, mozzarella, or your favorite melty cheese—these sliders are deliciously versatile.
How do I keep the sliders from getting soggy?
To prevent sogginess, try spreading a thin layer of mayo, and don’t overdo the sauce. Baking uncovered to brown the tops of the rolls also helps keep sliders nice and toasty!
