Perfect Ham and Cheese Sliders (with Buttery Honey Dijon Glaze)

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with parchment.

Prep the rolls

1. 1

   Slice the entire slab of rolls in half horizontally (keeping them connected).

2. 2

   Place the bottom half in the dish and bake for 5 minutes. This crisps the surface slightly to prevent a soggy middle.

Make the glaze

1. 1

   While bottoms are toasting, make the glaze. Whisk together melted butter, Dijon, Worcestershire, honey, onion powder, poppy seeds, cayenne (if using) and salt.

Assemble the sliders

1. 1

   Layer the Swiss cheese, all the ham, then the cheddar cheese, overlapping the slices. Cover with the top slab of rolls.

2. 2

   Pour over the tops and use a pastry brush to spread it evenly. If any pools to the sides, that's fine.

Bake

1. 1

   Cover tightly with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes. Check if cheese is melted. If not, cover again and bake for another 5-10 minutes, checking occasionally. *See notes.

2. 2

   Once cheese is melted, remove foil and bake another 3 to 5 minutes until golden, watching closely because the tops get dark fast.

3. 3

   Use a sharp knife to slice between the buns. For an epic cheese pull, let them cool for 5 minutes without separating them so the cheese melts together again. Serve warm.
