Ingredients
 
 

  • 12 slider buns like Hawaiian rolls
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese
  • ½ pound ham thinly sliced and cooked
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon onion minced
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions
 

  • Set your oven to 350 °F. Slice all the slider buns in half and place the bottom pieces snugly into a baking dish.
  • Spread mayo over the bottom buns. Add a layer of Swiss cheese, then the ham, and top it off with more Swiss. Finish by placing the top buns back on.
  • Stir together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, minced onion, and poppy seeds. Brush this mixture all over the tops of the buns so they’re nicely coated.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake 5 to 10 minutes more until the tops are golden. Let them cool just a bit, then dig in while they’re warm and melty.

Notes

  • You can put the sliders together the night before. Just cover and chill, then bake when you’re ready for a quick and easy meal or snack.
  • A serrated knife makes slicing easier and helps keep the sliders looking neat without squishing the bread.
  • Toss in extras like honey, parmesan, Worcestershire sauce, or chopped herbs for more flavor. Feeling bold? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Don’t wait too long to dig in. These are best when the cheese is melty, the ham is hot, and the rolls are soft.
Serve: Serve with French fries, sweet potato wedges, or a crisp salad. For something cozy, pair them with soup or pasta.
Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for 2 days in the fridge or up to 2 months in the freezer. Add a paper towel underneath to absorb moisture. Reheat in a covered baking dish at 375 F for 20 to 25 minutes. Thaw frozen ones in the fridge overnight first.
