Ingredients
Slider Ingredients
- 12 slider buns
- 1/2 lb sliced ham
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
Topping
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the sliders evenly.
- Assemble Sliders: Slice the slider buns horizontally without separating them completely into individual buns. Layer the sliced ham evenly over the bottom half of the buns, then place the Swiss cheese slices on top of the ham.
- Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with Dijon mustard until well combined. This mixture will create a flavorful glaze that enhances the sliders.
- Brush Topping: Generously brush the butter and mustard mixture over the top of the slider buns to ensure a rich and golden crust after baking.
- Bake Sliders: Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are toasted.
- Serve Warm: Remove sliders from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before cutting into individual sliders and serving warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of poppy seeds or sesame seeds on top of the buttered buns before baking.
- These sliders can be made ahead and refrigerated; bake just before serving to preserve freshness.
- For a spicier twist, mix a little hot sauce into the butter-mustard topping.
- Substitute Swiss cheese with cheddar or Gruyère for a different flavor profile.
- To keep sliders moist, cover them loosely with foil during baking if they seem to brown too quickly.
