Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 slider buns (soft, Hawaiian-style preferred)
  • 12 slices of deli ham (thinly sliced)
  • 12 slices of Swiss cheese (or cheese of your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your sliders will bake evenly and get that perfect golden-brown glaze.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise. Mix well until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly on the cut sides of all 12 slider buns, enhancing the flavor profile.
  3. Layer 12 slices of deli ham on the bottom half of the slider buns. Make sure to cover the entire surface for a consistent flavor in each bite.
  4. Next, add 12 slices of Swiss cheese on top of the ham. This step is crucial as the cheese will melt and bind the flavors together during baking.
  5. Place the top half of the slider buns over the cheese. Gently press down to secure the layers, ensuring that everything stays in place while baking.
  6. In another bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients: 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds (if using), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. The mixture should be well-combined and slightly thick.
  7. Brush the glaze generously over the top of the slider buns, making sure to coat them evenly. This will create a beautiful, shiny surface once baked.
  8. Cover the assembled sliders with aluminum foil to keep them moist while they bake. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  9. After 15 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  10. Once baked, remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This allows the cheese to set slightly, making them easier to slice and serve.
  11. Cut the sliders along the seams and serve warm. Enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!

Keywords: For optimal results, use a sharp serrated knife to slice the buns. Avoid overloading the sliders with too much filling to ensure even cooking and the best flavor balance.
