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 2: In a bowl, mix together cup of melted butter, 1 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of dried minced onion, and 1 tablespoons of poppy seeds (optional, but adds a great crunch).
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!

"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!"

This sandwich recipe is my favorite choice for family and friend gatherings. It's incredibly easy to make and tastes delicious. I have a little twist with the butter - instead of melting it, I let it soften and mix in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, and onions. Then I spread this mixture on the inside part of the rolls before assembling the sandwiches for baking. It's a fantastic recipe! Thank you for sharing!

Based on suggestions, we substituted poppy seeds with "everything" bagel seasoning and opted for provolone and mozzarella over Swiss cheese, resulting in fantastic outcomes. These were prepared entirely by my 16-year-old with no assistance, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed them, coming back for seconds and thirds during the Super Bowl. Easy cleanup added to the appeal! Definitely a recipe worth keeping.

I absolutely adore these sandwiches, but I always seem to forget to make them. This time around, I decided to mix things up by preparing half of them with white cheddar and ham, and the other half with ham and Swiss. To add a unique touch, I spread a thin layer of blackberry jam on the bread before assembling the sandwiches. Additionally, I mixed a tablespoon of brown sugar into the butter before spreading it on top. The result was absolutely delicious. A quick note of caution though - these sandwiches tend to burn quickly at the bottom if you're not vigilant. I lined my pan with parchment paper before placing the sandwiches in to prevent this issue.

I really enjoy these, but I must point out that the nutritional details provided are not accurate if using King's Hawaiian rolls. They actually contain 15g of carbohydrates per roll. This is crucial information for individuals with Type 1 diabetes.

I have never written a recipe review before, but I simply had to share my experience with these sliders. I was so looking forward to preparing them as they sounded absolutely delicious and I thought they would be perfect for an upcoming staff meeting. However, I decided to test the recipe on my family first. Unfortunately, I ended up burning them badly - the timer didn't go off when I thought it did, purely my fault. Despite this mishap, a brave family member still tried the sliders and absolutely loved them! To my surprise, the dish of burnt sliders was devoured in no time. If a burnt dinner can still be enjoyed, then this recipe is truly a winner. Foolproof and delicious!
