Ingredients

Scale

Buns and Meat

  • 12 soft slider buns or Hawaiian buns
  • 12 slices thinly sliced deli ham

Cheese

  • 12 slices Swiss cheese or cheddar cheese

Butter Glaze

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Buns: Slice the slider buns horizontally without cutting all the way through, keeping them connected in a block for easy assembly and serving.
  2. Layer the Ham and Cheese: Spread a generous layer of ham evenly across the bottom half of the buns, then cover fully with slices of your chosen cheese.
  3. Assemble the Sliders: Place the top half of the buns carefully over the ham and cheese layers, aligning them neatly for easy cutting and serving.
  4. Make the Butter Glaze: In a bowl, combine melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds. Stir well until fully blended.
  5. Apply Glaze and Bake: Brush the butter mixture thoroughly over the tops of the buns. Place the entire slider block on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and tops are golden brown.
  6. Serve Warm: Allow sliders to cool slightly, then slice between buns into individual sandwiches and serve immediately for the best gooey, warm experience.

Notes

  • Use a serrated knife to slice buns evenly without crushing them.
  • Melt butter first to mix ingredients easily and brush smoothly on buns.
  • Avoid overfilling with ham or cheese to prevent sliders from sliding apart.
  • Optionally tent sliders with foil during baking for extra melty cheese and less browning.
  • Serve sliders fresh from the oven for optimal flavor and texture.
