Preparing the Sliders:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Rolls:
- Without separating them, slice the entire block of rolls in half horizontally, so you have a top “slab” and a bottom “slab.” Place the bottom half in the baking dish.
- Add Mustard, Ham, and Cheese:
- Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the cut side of the bottom slab. Layer the ham slices over the mustard, then cover with slices of cheese. Place the top half of the rolls on top.
Making the Topping:
- Combine the Topping Ingredients:
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- Apply the Topping:
- Brush or pour the butter mixture evenly over the top of the sliders, making sure to coat well. The mixture will help flavor the rolls and keep them moist while baking.
Baking:
- Cover and Bake:
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Cool Slightly:
- Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before cutting into individual servings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Ham and Cheese Sliders warm. They pair well with sides like potato chips, coleslaw, or a simple green salad for a balanced meal.
Tips
- Variations: You can customize the sliders with different types of meat such as turkey or roast beef, and use different cheeses like provolone or mozzarella.
- Make-Ahead: You can assemble these sliders a few hours before baking. Just cover and refrigerate, then bake as directed when ready to serve.
