Ingredients
Sliders
- 12 slider buns (like Hawaiian rolls)
- ½ lb thinly sliced cooked ham
- 12 slices Swiss cheese
Glaze
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp minced onion
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Prepare Buns: Cut the slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in a baking dish, creating the base layer.
- Assemble Sliders: Spread mayonnaise evenly over the bottom buns. Layer one slice of Swiss cheese over the mayo, then add the thinly sliced ham, followed by another slice of Swiss cheese. Cover with the top halves of the buns.
- Make Glaze: In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, minced onion, and poppy seeds to create a flavorful glaze.
- Apply Glaze: Brush the glaze generously over the tops of the slider buns, ensuring the surface is well coated for a delicious crust.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to warm and meld the flavors.
- Finish Baking: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the tops are lightly browned and crispy.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the sliders to cool for a few minutes before serving so they hold together better and flavors meld.
Notes
- Use Hawaiian rolls for a soft and slightly sweet bun that complements the savory ham and Swiss cheese perfectly.
- Make sure to brush the glaze generously to get a beautifully browned and flavorful crust.
- These sliders can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- For an extra kick, add a thin layer of Dijon mustard inside the slider before adding the cheese.
- To reheat leftovers, cover with foil and warm in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
