Ham and cheese is a beloved classic.
And really it makes sense.
I think we can all agree that when cheese is involved with any meat, it’s pretty much a wonderful thing.
The yummy combo may be wonderful as is but add in this poppy seed mustard butter onion sauce thing and it’s wow!
The sauce is what really knocks this one out of the park.
The sons and the hubs drool over these sliders.
They even love the leftovers (if there are any the next day, which is rare).
And I love them because not only are they amazing but they are so simple to make so you can have a tasty meal on the table with almost no work.
And everyone is happy!
Ingredients
To make these you’ll need:
For the sandwiches themselves, you’ll need:
- Rolls– I prefer Hawaiian rolls or slider buns but you could use burger buns, Kaiser rolls or any other roll you have on hand.
- Ham– Go for regular ham or honey flavored. They’re also a perfect way to use up leftover holiday ham.
- Cheese– Swiss cheese pairs very well with ham, but if you aren’t a fan of it you could sub out your favorite cheese.
- Mayo– Use real mayonnaise here and not mayonnaise style dressing for the best flavor.
For the sauce you’ll need:
- Poppy seeds– You can generally find poppy seeds in the spice aisle at the grocery store.
- Mustard– Yellow mustard works better than dijon or grain mustard here.
- Butter– Go for unsalted butter and melt it.
- Onion– Any kind of onion you like will work, but make sure you mince it.
- Worcestershire sauce– This adds delicious flavor. Don’t skip it!
How to Make
Some people prefer to let these melty ham and cheese sliders cool before serving them, I suggest serving them warmly enough that you can still appreciate the melty cheese.
However, if you’re meal prepping, they make a great packed lunch option and still taste delicious.
Storing Leftovers
While you likely won’t have leftovers because everyone will love devouring these delightful cheesy ham sliders, you can store leftovers covered tightly with foil in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven until the cheese has melted.
Can Hot Ham And Cheese Sliders Be Made Ahead Of Time?
Yes, the sandwiches can be made and assembled up to a day ahead of time; however, wait to top them with the prepared butter until just before baking.
Tips and Tricks
- Don’t have slider rolls? No worries! Use hamburger buns, brioche or kaiser rolls instead.
- You don’t have to use all the sauce but use enough to cover the top of the rolls.
- Make sure to let the sandwiches rest after you pour the sauce on the rolls so the sauce has a chance to seep into the bread prior to baking.
