Description
Warm, buttery sliders filled with savory ham and melty cheese, perfect for gatherings and comforting Sunday meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 small soft rolls (dinner rolls, brioche, or Hawaiian rolls)
- 12–16 oz thinly sliced ham (Black Forest, honey-baked, or smoked)
- 10–12 oz cheese (Swiss, Gruyère, or cheddar)
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard or grainy mustard
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced and caramelized (optional)
- 1 tsp dried thyme or chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish lightly.
- Slice the rolls horizontally, keeping the tops connected for a hinged effect.
- Brush the bottom layer with melted butter, then spread Dijon mustard across.
- Layer the ham evenly over the mustard.
- Add the cheese in an even layer.
- If using, distribute the caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms, sprinkle thyme or parsley, and season with pepper.
- Place the top halves of the rolls over the fillings, brush with remaining melted butter, and optionally sprinkle with flaky salt.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and tops are golden.
- Let rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Work with room-temperature butter for even brushing; warm ham slightly before assembling. For tangy variation, mix poppy seeds into butter before brushing.
