Ingredients
  

  • 8 pieces slider buns soft, brioche-style
  • 12 slices smoked ham thinly sliced
  • 8 slices cheese Swiss or provolone
  • 3 tablespoons honey for honey mustard
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard for honey mustard
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice optional, for brightness
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted, for brushing

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Small saucepan
  • Pastry brush
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and lay the bottom halves on a baking sheet cut side up.
  2. Spread a generous layer of honey mustard on each cut side of the buns, creating a tangy base for the fillings.
  3. Layer slices of ham evenly over the bottom buns, letting their smoky aroma fill the kitchen.
  4. Place slices of cheese on top of the ham, covering each slider, which will melt beautifully during baking.
  5. Cover the cheese with the top halves of the buns, pressing down gently to compact the layers.
  6. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then stir in the honey and Dijon mustard until combined. This creates your flavorful glaze.
  7. Use a pastry brush to generously coat the tops of the sliders with the honey mustard butter, ensuring all edges are covered for a crispy, golden finish.
  8. Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  9. Remove the sliders from the oven and let them rest for about 5 minutes, allowing the juices to settle and making slicing easier.
  10. Use a sharp knife to slice the sliders apart cleanly. Serve warm, with extra honey mustard on the side if desired.
