Ingredients
Scale
- 12 pretzel slider buns
- 12 slices deli ham
- 6 slices Swiss cheese, halved
- 6 slices cheddar cheese, halved
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp poppy seeds
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
- Assemble the Sliders: Slice pretzel buns in half and place bottom halves in the baking dish. Spread a layer of honey mustard sauce on each bottom bun.
- Layer the Ham and Cheese: Evenly distribute ham slices over the buns, followed by Swiss and cheddar cheese slices.
- Top the Sliders: Place the top halves of the pretzel buns over the ham and cheese layers.
- Make the Butter Topping: Combine melted butter, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds in a small bowl.
- Brush and Bake: Generously brush the butter mixture over the tops of the sliders. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Uncover and Finish Baking: Remove foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and tops are golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley if desired. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Cheese Swap: Try provolone, gouda, or pepper jack instead of Swiss and cheddar.
- Spicy Kick: Add hot sauce or horseradish to the honey mustard sauce.
- Sweeter Option: Substitute honey with maple syrup.
- Extra Crunch: Add crispy bacon for more texture.
- Vegetarian Option: Replace ham with roasted mushrooms or grilled zucchini.
