Ham And Cheese Sliders

A buttery, mustard-infused sauce coats layers of delicious ham, soft Hawaiian buns, and melted Swiss or cheddar cheese in ham & cheese sliders. They are deliciously gooey and slightly crunchy after baking till golden. Their name is derived from the traditional ham-and-cheese combination, which is presented as a tiny “sliding” sandwich.

Ingredients:

• 12 Hawaiian rolls, slice through and separate.
• 12 slices ham, layer evenly.
• 6 slices Swiss cheese, fold and place.
• 4 tablespoons butter, melt completely.
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, whisk smoothly.
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, mix well.
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder, stir in.
• 1 teaspoon poppy seeds, sprinkle over.

How To Make Ham And Cheese Sliders

1. Set the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F). Use parchment paper to line a baking dish.
2. Holding the rolls together, cut them in half horizontally. Fill the dish with the bottom layer.
3. Evenly cover the buns with ham, allowing it to fold for texture.
4. Cover the ham completely with cheese pieces.
5. Cover the cheese with the upper half of the buns.
6. In a bowl, melt the butter and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and garlic powder.
7. Over the sliders’ tops, liberally brush the mixture.
8. For added taste, evenly distribute poppy seeds.
9. Bake, covered with foil, for ten minutes.
10. After taking off the foil, continue baking uncovered for five more minutes, or until golden brown.

Ham And Cheese Sliders Recipe Tips:

• Hot Jalapeño Sliders with cheese and ham. Use jalapeños to boost the ante! For a spicy kick, sandwich thinly sliced jalapeños between the cheese and ham. To make the spice stronger, use Swiss cheese instead of pepper jack. For added spice, mix a little hot sauce into the butter glaze. For a spicy touch, sprinkle crushed red pepper on top before baking. These sliders have the ideal ratio of fiery kick, savory ham, and creamy cheese. For contrast, serve them with a refreshing ranch dip.
• Sliders with Garlic Parmesan Ham and Cheese. provide grated Parmesan and minced garlic to the butter glaze to provide a deep garlic flavor. For a softer, more melted cheese, use Swiss instead of mozzarella. Before baking, sprinkle the sliders with additional Parmesan for a cheesy, crunchy finish. The sliders get a nice crunch from toasting them till golden brown. There is buttery, garlicky bliss in every bite. For those who enjoy garlic and want a richer, more complex flavor, this version is excellent. For an Italian twist, serve with marinara sauce.
• Sliders with BBQ Ham and Cheese. Use BBQ sauce to give it a smoky twist! Before you put the ham on the buns, lightly coat them with barbecue sauce. To achieve a richer, more complex flavor, use smoked ham. For added smokiness, use Swiss cheese instead of smoked gouda or cheddar. For more depth, stir a little amount of barbecue sauce into the butter glaze. Bake until the sauce begins to caramelize a little and the cheese melts wonderfully. These sliders combine cheesy, smokey, and sweet flavors in a mouthwatering bite. For a traditional pairing, serve with coleslaw.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

1. In The Fridge: Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They remain fresh for up to 3 days. Ensure they are fully cooled before storing to prevent sogginess.
2. In The Freezer: Wrap sliders tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing. They can be stored for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
3. To Reheat: Reheat sliders in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, uncovered, until golden. Alternatively, microwave for 30-60 seconds.
