What you need to make Ham and Cheese Sliders:
- 12 King’s Hawaiian dinner rolls
- 9oz. deli ham thinly sliced (or use leftover ham)
- 8oz. Swiss cheese thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons mayo
- For the Slider Sauce:
- 3/4 cup butter melted
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
- 2 tsp dried minced onion
Optional:
Swap the poppy seeds and the dried minced onion out for 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning
Make Hawaiian Sliders and add: 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
Make the Sauce:
I bought Trader Joe’s Everything Bagel seasoning a few months ago, and I have found that I rarely use it. I thought I would use it on everything, but I just don’t. I gave it a try in making the sauce for these Ham and Cheese Sliders and it works perfectly…so good! Substitute the poppy seeds and dried minced onion with one tablespoon of the Everything Bagel Seasoning. Since this seasoning mix has both poppy seeds and dried minced onion in it along with a few other seasonings, it makes a great substitute. So if you are looking to use it up…try it on sliders!
How to make Ham ands Cheese Sliders:
- Preheat your oven to 350. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mix together the melted butter, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, poppy seeds, and dried onion to create the sauce mixture. *Optional: substitute Everything Bagel Seasoning for the poppy seeds and dried onion.
- Slice all the rolls in half. Place the bottom halves into the prepared baking dish. Layer the ham, Swiss cheese. Add layers of more ham and cheese if desired.
- Place the top halves of the rolls back onto the sliders.
- Pour the butter sauce mixture over the tops of all the sliders.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the rolls are lightly browned and the cheese has melted. Serve warm.
Tips for making Sliders:
-Make 24! This recipe is for 12 sliders, but you can easily double, triple, quadruple this recipe if you need to feed more people.
-Make them ahead. Assemble the sandwiches ahead, cover with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge a few hours before needing to bake. Just hold off on adding the dijon butter sauce to right before baking. If you’re planning to bring these over to a friend’s home for the big game, I suggest calling ahead to have them preheat their oven to 350 for you, so you can pop them into the oven right when you get there.
-Butter the bottom of the baking dish to keep them from sticking to the dish.
-Use leftover ham to make sliders. Often times after a holiday like Easter or Christmas you will have leftover ham, and these sliders are a great way to use up that leftover ham.
