Ingredients You’ll Need For This Recipe

12 slider buns (like Hawaiian rolls)
½ lbs thinly sliced cooked ham
12 slices Swiss cheese
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
4 tbsp butter, melted
1 tbsp minced onion
1 tbsp poppy seeds

Step-by-Step Guide

Before you get started, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, cut the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves in a baking dish.

1- Spread mayonnaise on the buns.

2- Layer ham and Swiss cheese on top. Then, cover with the top halves of the buns.

3—Make the glaze by mixing melted butter, Dijon mustard, minced onion, and poppy seeds in a bowl.

4—To apply the glaze, brush it generously over the sliders, making sure to cover them evenly.

5- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and crispy.

6- Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before serving.

Pro Tips for Success

Make-Ahead Magic – Want to save time? Assemble the ham and cheese sliders a few hours in advance, cover, and store them in the fridge. Just add the glaze and bake when you’re ready to serve!
Crispy or Extra Gooey? – For a crispier bun, bake uncovered for a few extra minutes. If you love extra melty cheese, layer on an extra slice before baking!
Switch It Up – Not a Swiss cheese fan? Try cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack for a different twist. You can also swap ham for turkey or roast beef to mix things up!
