Sweet Ham and Swiss Sliders

PSU Lioness's Note:

I found this recipe on heatherlikesfood.com in a blog that she posted about Super Bowl food. The sauce that is poured over the rolls caramelizes and gives them a gooey sweetness that meshes perfectly with the ham and Swiss. They are one of the best sliders that I have ever had!

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 16

• 16 white dinner style rolls, cut in half
• 24 slices honey-roasted ham
• 16 slices swiss cheese
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 8 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon poppy seed
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. On a rimmed baking sheet place bottom half of dinner rolls and top with 1 1/2 slices of ham and 1 slice of swiss cheese.
3. Spread about 1 tsp of mayonnaise on each top-half of roll and place on top of ham and cheese.
4. You want the rolls to be snug together, kissing just a bit so the sauce can soak up into all of the nooks and crannies.
5. In a small bowl combine the mustard, melted butter, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, and brown sugar.
6. Mix until combined and evenly pour over the assembled rolls.
7. Cover with foil and refrigerate until ready to bake.
8. Bake covered with foil for 10 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the tops are browned, and cheese is good and melted.
