Servings, Preparation, and Cooking Time
- Servings: 12 sliders
- Preparation Time: 10 minutes
- Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 12 slider buns
- 12 slices deli ham
- 12 slices Swiss cheese
- ½ cup of melted butter
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
How to Make Ham and Swiss Cheese Sliders
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Slider Base: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact. Place the bottom halves of the buns in the baking dish.
- Spread the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread this mixture evenly across the bottom halves of the buns.
- Layer the Filling: Place a slice of ham on each bun, folding if necessary to fit. Add a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each piece of ham.
- Assemble the Sliders: Replace the top halves of the buns over the fillings.
- Make the Butter Glaze: In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Brush or pour the mixture generously over the tops of the buns, ensuring each slider is well coated.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve: Let the sliders cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm!
Tips and Notes
- Season Well: For an extra flavor kick, sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder or poppy seeds over the butter glaze before baking.
- Cheese Options: Substitute Swiss cheese with provolone or cheddar for a different twist.
- Ham Variations: Use honey ham for a sweet-savory balance or smoked ham for a bold flavor.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the sliders up to 4 hours in advance, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Brush with butter glaze just before baking.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with a fresh green salad or chips for a complete meal. They’re also fantastic with a bowl of warm tomato soup on the side!
