Ingredients
For the Sliders
- 12 soft bread rolls
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 3 Tbsp mustard your preferred variety
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- sliced ham
- 10 slices Swiss cheese
Butter Topping
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1½ Tbsp poppy seeds optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C bake. Line a baking dish or roasting tray with baking paper.
- Slice the bread rolls horizontally without separating the individual rolls, creating one connected top layer and one connected bottom layer.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Spread half of the mayonnaise mixture over the bottom layer of buns and the remaining half over the cut side of the top layer.
- Layer the ham evenly over the bottom buns.
- Place the Swiss cheese slices over the ham, ensuring the filling is well covered.
- Bake the bottom half of the buns with the filling for 5–8 minutes, or until the cheese begins to soften and melt.
- Meanwhile, combine the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, chives, salt, pepper, and optional poppy seeds.
- Remove the tray from the oven and place the top layer of buns over the filling.
- Spoon or brush the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the buns.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the sliders are heated through and the tops are lightly golden.
- If desired, remove the foil during the last few minutes of baking for extra colour.
- Slice into individual sliders and serve warm.
