In this article, we’ll explore the way of crafting the perfect Ham and Cheese Sliders that are sure to become a family favorite.
1. Ham and Cheese Sliders Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 soft dinner rolls or slider buns
- 1 pound thinly sliced ham
- 12 slices Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when you assemble and bake the sliders.
Using a serrated knife, slice the dinner rolls or slider buns in half horizontally, keeping them connected as one large piece.
Lay the bottom half of the rolls in a baking dish. Arrange the thinly sliced ham evenly over the rolls, followed by the Swiss cheese slices.
Place the top half of the rolls over the ham and cheese, creating a sandwich-like structure within the baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, honey, poppy seeds, dried minced onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This flavorful glaze will infuse the sliders with a perfect balance of sweet and savory notes.
Generously brush the prepared glaze over the tops of the sliders, ensuring an even distribution of the delectable mixture.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted, and the sliders are heated through. Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes to allow the tops to crisp slightly.
Once out of the oven, garnish the Ham and Cheese Sliders with fresh parsley if desired. Allow them to cool slightly before cutting into individual portions.
These sliders are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. Serve them as a standalone delight or alongside your favorite side dishes for a more substantial meal.
You also feel free to customize your sliders by adding mustard, mayonnaise, pickles, or any other condiments that complement the ham and cheese combination.
Ham and Cheese Sliders are a harmonious blend of savory ham, melted cheese, and a flavorful glaze, all nestled within soft, pillowy rolls. This recipe captures the essence of comfort food while offering a convenient and scrumptious option for any occasion.
