These Ham and Cheese Sliders are the ultimate easy lunch or snack, ready in under an hour. With a buttery poppy seed topping and layers of savory ham and melted Swiss cheese, they're perfect for parties, game days, or a quick family meal.

Ingredients

Makes 8 servings

  • 24 swiss cheese
  • 24 mayonnaise
  • 24 Miracle Whip
  • 1/3 poppy seed
  • 1/3 poppy seed
  • 1 yellow mustard
  • 1 1/2 butter
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 Worcestershire sauce

Method

  1. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and miracle whip. Spread onto both sides of the center of each roll. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss inside of each roll. Close rolls and place them into a large baking dish or heavy cookie sheet. Place very close together.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the poppy seed sauce ingredients. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. You do not have to use all of the sauce! Just use enough to cover the tops. Let sit 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover and cook for 2 additional minutes or until tops are slightly brown and crispy. Serve warm.

  3. sandwiches can be assembled a day ahead and kept in the fridge ready to bake.

Cook's notes

  • Use a sharp knife to split the rolls evenly without tearing them.
  • Let the assembled sliders rest for 10 minutes before baking so the butter topping sets slightly for better absorption.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the sliders for 1-2 minutes after baking, watching closely to avoid burning.

Frequently asked

Can I use different cheese?

Yes, provolone, cheddar, or mozzarella work well in place of Swiss cheese.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Absolutely. Use gluten-free dinner rolls and ensure your Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free.

What if I don't have Miracle Whip?

Replace Miracle Whip with an equal amount of mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt for a tangy alternative.
