Ingredients

Units Scale

Butter Mixture

  • 3/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion

Sandwich

  • 24 mini sandwich rolls or 12 large rolls
  • 1 pound thinly sliced cooked deli ham
  • 1 pound thinly sliced Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Make Butter Mixture: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, and dried minced onion. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all flavors evenly.
  3. Assemble Sliders: Carefully separate the tops from the bottoms of the rolls. Arrange the bottom halves in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Layer half of the ham evenly over the bottoms, followed by an even layer of Swiss cheese. Top the cheese with the remaining ham slices, then place the roll tops on each slider.
  4. Add Butter Mixture: Pour the prepared butter mixture evenly over the tops of all the sliders, ensuring they are well coated for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the sliders are lightly browned on top and the cheese has fully melted.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and slice into individual sliders through the ham and cheese layers. Serve warm immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh mini sandwich rolls or small slider buns for best results.
  • Swiss cheese can be substituted with cheddar or provolone if preferred.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butter mixture.
  • Sliders can be assembled earlier and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
  • These sliders are perfect for parties, potlucks, game days, and holiday appetizers.
