Ham and Cheese Sliders – an upgraded version of a basic ham and cheese sandwich! These bite size sliders are a favorite in our house for tailgates and parties. They are also perfect in a kids lunchbox!Â
I don’t know about you but we are QUICKLY running out of interesting lunch ideas during this whole quarantine/remote learning period. As much as I wish I could make the girls a peanut butter and jelly every day, they are beginning to find it boring (shocking, I know!).
My mom used to make these Ham and Cheese Sliders for football games or Christmas parties as we were growing up and they were always a favorite of mine! Delicious bite size sandwiches made with ham, swiss cheese, and a delicious butter, dijon, and onion sauce that is good on just about anything.
When I was thinking of new and interesting lunch ideas for the girls, these sliders came to mind.  Whether your kids are going to school face to face or remote learning at home, lunch is still expected (UGH!!). These sliders are perfect for a lunchbox or an at-home meal.
How to make Ham and Cheese Sliders:Â
- I love to use a tray of King’s Hawaiian slider rolls for these ham and cheese sliders. Unfold the tray and cut the entire rectangle of rolls in half.
6) Bake for 15-20 minutes or until all the cheese has melted and the tops are toasted. - Next, melt 1/2 stick of butter in a small bowl. Once it is melted, add 2-3 tbsp of dijon mustard, 1/4 cup of minced onion, and 1 tsp of poppyseeds to the melted butter. The mixture should be fairly thick.Â
- Open the cut rolls and layer the rolls with one layer of slices of swiss cheese and then slices of ham on top. Â
- Place bottoms of rolls with ham and cheese on top in a baking dish. Pour the melted butter mixture on top of the ham and cheese layers. Top with the top sides of rolls.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Ham and Cheese Sliders
Ingredients
- 1 tray King's Hawaiian butter rolls
- 5-6 slices of deli ham
- 4-5 slices of swiss cheese
- 1/2 stick of melted butter
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 2-3 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Take the rolls out of the tray, keeping them intact, and cut the rolls in half lengthwise so you have a top and a bottom. (See picture)
- In a small bowl, melt the butter. Once it is melted, add 1/4 cup of minced onion, 2-3 tbsp of dijon mustard, and 1 tsp of poppyseeds. Stir to combine. It will be thick - that's what you want!
- Open the rolls. On the bottom half, add the cheese slices and top with the ham. Transfer the rolls to a baking dish.
- Pour the butter mixture over the ham and cheese, covering all the sides of the rolls as well. Place the other half of the rolls on top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until all the cheese has melted and the tops are toasted.
- Before serving, cut the sliders apart using a sharp knife.
