Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 12 slices of ham
- 12 slices of Swiss cheese
- 12 slider buns
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or butter.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.
- Slice the slider buns horizontally, keeping them connected if possible. This makes assembling the sandwiches easier.
- Spread the mustard-mayonnaise mixture evenly on both the top and bottom halves of the slider buns.
- Layer a slice of Swiss cheese on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a slice of ham.
- Close the sandwiches by placing the top halves of the buns over the ham and cheese.
- In another small bowl, mix the melted butter with poppy seeds until well combined.
- Carefully brush the poppy seed butter mixture over the top of each sandwich, ensuring even coverage.
- Arrange the prepared sandwiches closely together in the prepared baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes.
- Remove the foil during the last 3-4 minutes of baking to allow the tops to become golden and slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the sandwiches rest for 2-3 minutes before serving hot.
- Cut the sandwiches apart if they were baked connected, and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: If you're short on time, prepare the sandwiches a few hours in advance. Just cover them with foil and refrigerate until you're ready to bake!
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to get creative! Add some sliced pickles, fresh spinach, or even a touch of honey for a sweet twist.
- Perfectly Crispy Tops: For an extra crispy finish, broil the sandwiches for a minute or two after baking. Just keep a close eye to avoid burning!
- Serving Suggestions: Pair these sandwiches with a fresh salad or some crunchy veggies for a complete meal that your guests will love.
- Make It a Meal: If you have leftovers (which is rare!), these sandwiches can be reheated in the oven for a quick and tasty lunch the next day.
