Ingredients
Scale
Sliders
- 6 Slider Buns (soft, fluffy)
- 12 slices Sliced Ham (smoky or honey-glazed)
- 12 slices Sliced Swiss Cheese
Butter Mixture
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Poppy Seeds
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Buns: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and arrange the bottom halves evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Layer Ingredients: Layer the sliced ham evenly over the bottom bun halves, followed by placing slices of Swiss cheese on top of the ham for a perfect melt.
- Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, melt the unsalted butter and stir in Dijon mustard and poppy seeds to create a flavorful and aromatic topping.
- Apply Butter Mixture: Drizzle the buttery Dijon and poppy seed mixture evenly over the layered ham and cheese to ensure every bite is infused with flavor.
- Top Buns: Place the top halves of the slider buns over the buttered layers, then cover the entire dish tightly with aluminum foil to keep moisture in while baking.
- Bake: Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden and warm.
- Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm for ultimate comfort and satisfaction.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a thin layer of mayonnaise or honey mustard under the ham.
- Using honey-glazed ham adds a subtle sweetness that pairs well with the tangy mustard.
- Make sure to cover the sliders tightly with foil to keep them moist during baking.
- These sliders can be prepared ahead of time and baked when ready to serve.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 300°F for 10 minutes to retain freshness.
