Ham and Cheese Sliders

Ingredients

• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp finely grated onion (or 1 tbsp onion granules)
• 4 garlic cloves, finely grated (or 2 tsp garlic granules)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Tabasco sauce
• 1 tbsp poppy seeds
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 lb thinly sliced ham
• 6 slices Swiss cheese
• ½ lb Gruyère cheese, shredded
• 1 pack sweet Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half horizontally (keeping buns attached)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (no convection fan).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, poppy seeds, and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
3. Place the bottom buns in a 13x9-inch casserole dish and evenly layer the Swiss cheese slices over them, making sure to cover the buns.
4. Evenly spread out the ham slices over the cheese, folding them over to make thicker layers. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère over the ham.
5. Place the top buns on and brush the butter mixture generously over the top, completely covering everything.
6. Cover with foil and bake on the middle rack for 20 minutes.
7. Remove the foil and use a paring knife to poke holes wherever butter is pooling on top so it can drip down into the sandwiches.
8. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and the tops of the buns are golden and toasted.
