Ingredients
Scale
Sliders
- 1 package of pretzel slider buns
- 8 ounces sliced ham
- 8 ounces sliced cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or your choice)
Butter Glaze
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders evenly.
- Prepare the Buns: Slice the pretzel slider buns horizontally but keep them connected by not cutting all the way through. Place the bottom halves in a baking dish to form a base.
- Layer Ham and Cheese: Evenly arrange the sliced ham over the bottom bun layer, then add a layer of sliced cheese on top of the ham.
- Add Top Buns: Place the top half of the pretzel buns over the ham and cheese layers, covering them completely.
- Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and coarse sea salt until the mixture is smooth and combined.
- Brush the Sliders: Generously coat the tops of the pretzel buns with the butter mixture for rich flavor and golden browning.
- Sprinkle Sesame Seeds: If desired, sprinkle the sesame seeds over the brushed buns to add texture and a nutty flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown on top.
- Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice into individual portions and serve warm for the best taste.
Notes
- Keep the slider buns connected while slicing to make assembly easier and maintain structure.
- You can use any cheese of your choice such as Swiss, cheddar, or provolone.
- Optional sesame seeds add a nice crunch but can be omitted if preferred.
- Serve these sliders warm to enjoy the melted cheese and soft pretzel texture.
- These sliders are perfect for parties, game days, or casual dinners.
