How to Make Ham and Cheese Sliders

Heres a simple, step-by-step guide to making these mouthwatering ham and cheese sliders:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 3: Separate the tops from the bottoms of the sandwich rolls. Arrange the bottom halves of the rolls in a single layer in your prepared baking dish.

Step 4: Layer half of the 1 pound of sliced ham on top of the bottom rolls. Then, add a layer of 1 pound of Swiss cheese, followed by the remaining ham slices.

Step 5: Place the top halves of the rolls on the sandwiches.

Step 6: Evenly pour the mustard mixture over the top of the sandwich rolls, making sure all the rolls are coated with the flavorful sauce.

Step 7: Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly browned and the cheese has fully melted.

Step 8: Once baked, slice the sliders into individual servings and serve warm. Enjoy these gooey, cheesy, and tangy sandwiches!

"Everyone loved them!" raves Dining Diva. "I used cherrywood ham, cheddar cheese, and everything bagel topping instead of just poppy seeds. Followed the advice of covering with foil half of the cooking time."

"Very tasty and easy to make," says SunnyDaysNora. "I left out the poppy seeds as I realized too late that I was out. I used Swiss cheese as written on half of the sandwiches and American cheese on the other for my daughter. Definitely a keeper!"
