Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 sliders
Ingredients
- 12 pretzel slider buns
- 1 pound sliced ham
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, sliced
- 1/4 cup honey mustard
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
- Gather all your ingredients: pretzel slider buns, sliced ham, Swiss cheese, honey mustard, melted butter, and sesame seeds.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and honey mustard together until well combined. This will be used for both spreading on the buns and brushing on top of the sliders.
- Slice the pretzel slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom connected for each slider.
- Spread a generous amount of the honey mustard mixture on the cut side of each bottom half of the pretzel buns.
- Layer the sliced ham evenly over the honey mustard-covered bottom halves of the buns.
- Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the ham for each slider, ensuring it covers the ham completely.
- Place the top halves of the pretzel buns on each slider, pressing down gently to secure the layers.
- Brush the tops of the assembled sliders with the remaining honey mustard mixture for added flavor.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the tops of the sliders for a delightful crunch and visual appeal.
- Place the sliders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Cut the sliders apart and serve warm, enjoying the delicious combination of honey mustard, ham, and Swiss cheese in a soft pretzel bun.
Tips
- Use fresh pretzel slider buns for the best texture and authentic flavor.
- Allow the butter and honey mustard mixture to be at room temperature for easier spreading.
- Don't skimp on the honey mustard mixture - it's the secret flavor weapon!
- For extra golden tops, brush the sliders with an egg wash before adding sesame seeds.
- Use a sharp knife to cleanly separate the sliders after baking.
- Serve immediately while the cheese is still warm and gooey.
- If preparing ahead, you can assemble the sliders and refrigerate, then bake just before serving.
- Experiment with different cheese types like provolone or cheddar for variety.
