Honey Ham and Swiss Cheese Sliders

So much flavor in these little sliders. A great one for parties!

*

To accommodate my husband's taste buds (he does not do condiments of any kind), I make a third of the batch with just a roll, ham, and cheese. On a few of "his" sliders, I switch out the Swiss cheese with a slice or two of pepper jack cheese. Such a good wife! :)

INGREDIENTS

24 King's Hawaiian Rolls (or good, soft white rolls)

24 pieces honey ham

24 small slices Swiss cheese (I like baby Swiss)

Spread

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup miracle whip

Poppy Seed Sauce

1 Tablespoon poppy seeds

1 1/2 Tablespoons yellow mustard

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 Tablespoon minced onion

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

*

DIRECTIONS

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and miracle whip. Spread onto both sides of the center of each roll. Use a little or use a lot - your choice! Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese inside of each roll. Close rolls and place them into a large baking dish or heavy cookie sheet. Place very close together.

In a small bowl, whisk together all of the poppy seed sauce ingredients. Using enough to cover the tops of your sliders, pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. Personally, I use about half of the sauce. There is still plenty of flavor, believe me.  Let sit 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover and cook for 2 additional minutes or until tops are slightly brown and crispy. Serve warm.

Note: Sliders can be assembled a day ahead of time. Keep in the refrigerator, until ready to bake.
