Ingredients
- 12 soft sesame seed slider buns

- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
How to Make Ham and Cheese Sliders
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and poppy seeds (if using).
- Slice the entire pack of slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms connected.
- Place the bottom half of the buns in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Spread the yellow mustard evenly over the bottom buns.
- Layer the sliced ham evenly over the mustard, followed by the sliced cheese.
- Place the top half of the buns back over the cheese, then brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the buns.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before slicing them into individual servings and serving warm.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra flavor, consider adding a layer of sliced pickles or jalapeños between the ham and cheese.
- Use a variety of cheeses for a more complex flavor profile.
- Make sure to cover the sliders with foil during the first part of baking to keep them moist.
Easy Variations
- Swap out ham for turkey or roast beef for a different twist.
- Try different spreads like pesto or aioli instead of mustard.
- Add sautéed onions or bell peppers for extra depth.
What to Serve With It
- A fresh garden salad for a light side.
- Crispy potato wedges for a hearty accompaniment.
- Pickle spears or a charcuterie board to enhance the appetizer experience.
Storage and Reheating
These sliders are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
