Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 sliders
Ingredients
- 12 slider buns
- 1 lb sliced turkey
- 1 lb sliced ham
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup mustard
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tbsp 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.
- Slice the slider buns horizontally, keeping them connected as one large piece. Carefully separate the top and bottom halves without completely cutting them apart.
- Spread mayonnaise evenly on the bottom half of the slider buns, then layer with sliced ham and turkey to cover the entire surface.
- Place Swiss cheese slices over the meat, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully place the top half of the slider buns back over the cheese layer.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter with mustard and poppy seeds until well combined.
- Slowly pour the butter mixture evenly over the top of the slider buns, making sure to cover all surfaces.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and let the sliders sit for 5 minutes to absorb the butter mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Remove from oven, let cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice into individual sliders.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately while the cheese is still melted and the buns are crispy.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality turkey and ham. Freshly sliced deli meats can make a significant difference in taste.
- Customize Your Cheese: While Swiss cheese is a classic choice, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack for an extra kick.
- Prep Ahead: You can prepare the sliders in advance, cover them, and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. This is a great time-saver for busy days or gatherings.
- Add Some Crunch: For a delightful texture, consider adding some sautéed onions or jalapeños between the layers for an added flavor boost.
- Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Ovens can vary, so start checking your sliders around the 15-minute mark to ensure they don’t over-bake. You want them golden brown and crispy, not burnt!
- Serve with Dipping Sauces: Enhance the experience by serving your sliders with a side of honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or even a spicy aioli for dipping.
- Garnish for Presentation: For a pop of color and added flavor, sprinkle some chopped parsley or chives on top before serving.Enjoy crafting these delightful sliders that are sure to become a staple in your recipe repertoire!
