Ingredients

Scale

Slider Components

  • 12 soft slider buns
  • 12 slices thinly sliced ham
  • 12 slices Swiss or cheddar cheese

Spread and Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds or onion flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Buns: Slice the slider buns horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms connected so all sliders stay together in one tray, making assembly and serving easier.
  2. Add the Spread: Evenly spread Dijon mustard or mayonnaise on the inside of both the top and bottom bun halves to add moisture and a tangy or creamy flavor that balances the ham and cheese.
  3. Layer the Ham and Cheese: Place a layer of thinly sliced ham over the bottom buns followed by a layer of your chosen cheese slices, ensuring each slider is generously filled for maximum flavor.
  4. Assemble the Sliders: Place the top buns over the layered ham and cheese, pressing gently to hold all layers together.
  5. Add the Butter and Seasoning: Mix melted butter with garlic powder and poppy seeds or onion flakes, then brush this mixture evenly over the tops of the sliders to help create a golden, crispy crust during baking.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled sliders in a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until the cheese melts and the tops turn golden brown and crisp.

Notes

  • Use high-quality ham for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overfill sliders to avoid messiness and difficulty in eating.
  • Avoid toasting the buns beforehand to keep them soft and absorb flavors better.
  • Brush butter evenly on tops for perfect golden color and added savoriness.
  • Let sliders cool slightly after baking so the cheese sets and they are easier to handle.
