I love making ham and cheese sliders because they are delicious bite-sized sandwiches perfect for parties or quick meals.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) honey
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls, 12-ounce package
  • 8 ounces (227 g) sliced Swiss cheese, 10 slices
  • 8 ounces (227 g) sliced deli ham, 8 slices
  • 1 teaspoon (3 g) everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven – Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Heat to 350°F (177°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
  • Make the Butter Sauce - Heat the butter in the microwave in 15-second increments until melted. Stir in the Dijon mustard, honey, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Slice the Rolls – Use a serrated knife to cut the rolls in half lengthwise, keeping them intact once sliced.
  • Assemble the Sliders – Place the bottom half of the rolls cut-side up on the lined sheet pan. Layer 6 slices of Swiss cheese, overlapping to cover the bread. Evenly layer the ham on top. Brush the ham with about half of the butter sauce. Layer the remaining 4 slices of Swiss cheese on top. Place the top half of the rolls on the assembled sliders. Brush the remaining butter sauce over the tops. Sprinkle the seeds on top.
  • Bake the Sliders – Cover the sliders with foil. Bake for 15 minutes, then uncover. Bake until the cheese is melted and the tops are lightly brown, about 5 minutes.
  • To Serve – Transfer the sliders to a cutting board, then cut into individual sliders. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Heartier Sliders: Add 1 pound of ham to the sliders.
  • Worchestershire Sauce Substitute: Add 1/4 teaspoon soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon vinegar.
  • Honey Substitute: Use maple syrup or brown sugar.
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning Substitute: Use poppy seeds or sesame seeds.
  • Storing: Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to two days.
  • Freezing: Wrap the assembled rolls in plastic and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator, brush with seasoned butter and bake according to recipe directions.
  • Reheating: Heat the sliders in the microwave on high setting in 15-second increments until the rolls are soft and the filling is warm.
