Ham and Cheese Sliders
Description
Ham and Cheese Sliders use soft, sweet Hawaiian rolls sliced in half and brushed with a sauce made from spicy mustard, brown sugar, honey, and a pinch of salt. The bottom halves receive half a slice of cheddar cheese folded and placed on each roll, topped with thin slices of ham, then finished with the remaining cheese.
The tops of the rolls are brushed with more of the mustard mixture, then the assembled sliders are topped with the roll tops. A melted butter mixture containing poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt is poured over the sandwiches before baking at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes. This baking step melts the cheese and produces nicely browned tops, binding the flavors and creating a rich, sweet-savory bite.
These sliders serve well as appetizers, party snacks, or an easy meal. Their combination of sweet rolls, tangy mustard sauce, savory ham, and melted cheese makes for a satisfying handheld dish.
