Caramelized Ham & Swiss Sliders

I have seen these little caramelized ham & Swiss sliders on food blogs for a long time but have never made them. After making a thyme honey-glazed ham, I knew exactly what to do with the leftovers–these sliders! These easy ham and cheese sliders were quick and simple to make and smelled amazing while they baked. We all enjoyed these tasty sliders and thought they paired well with a classic Caesar salad and some potato salad.

Caramelized Ham & Swiss Sliders

Butter Sauce:

• ¼ cup butter, melted
• ½ tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp poppy seeds
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• ¾ tsp Worcestershire sauce
• Dash of garlic powder, to taste
• Dash of onion powder, to taste

Ham & Swiss Sliders:

• 6 dinner rolls or slider rolls, split
• Mayonnaise, to taste
• 3 slices of ham, sliced into smaller pieces, to taste
• 3 slices of Swiss cheese, halved

How to Make Caramelized Ham & Swiss Sliders:

Make the sauce by combining the warm melted butter with the Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk well and set aside to let the flavors mingle.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cast-iron skillet with olive oil cooking spray.

Split the rolls in half (top & bottom). Spread mayonnaise on the bottom halves of the rolls to taste.

Place a few pieces of ham on the bottom halves, then top with Swiss cheese.

Place the roll tops on top and put them in a single layer in the cast iron skillet.

Whisk the butter sauce until thick and well combined.

Brush mixture over the rolls.

Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve and enjoy!
