4.4 from 101 reviews

These ham and cheese sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack, featuring thinly sliced ham and Swiss cheese nestled inside soft slider rolls. A savory butter mixture with Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and poppy seeds adds a flavorful glaze, all baked together until warm and melty.

Ingredients

Scale

Slider Sandwich:

  • 12 count slider rolls, split horizontally
  • 0.5 pound ham, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 pound Swiss cheese, thinly sliced

Butter Mixture:

  • 0.25 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the sliders.
  2. Prepare Slider Base: Place the bottom halves of the slider rolls on a baking sheet, arranging them side by side to create a base layer.
  3. Add Ham and Cheese: Evenly layer the thinly sliced ham and Swiss cheese over the bottom halves of the rolls to build the filling.
  4. Mix Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and poppy seeds until well combined.
  5. Apply Butter Mixture: Pour the seasoned butter mixture evenly over the layered ham and cheese to add flavor and moisture.
  6. Top the Sliders: Place the top halves of the slider rolls over the filling, covering them completely.
  7. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil to keep the sliders moist, then bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese has melted and the rolls are softly warmed.
  8. Crisp the Tops: For a crispier top, remove the foil and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tops turn golden brown.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the sliders to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns and to let flavors meld together.

Notes

  • To make the sliders spicier, add a dash of hot sauce to the butter mixture.
  • Use different cheeses like cheddar or provolone for a flavor variation.
  • These sliders can be assembled the night before and baked just before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
  • For a poppy seed allergy, simply omit the seeds from the butter mixture.
