Ham and Cheese Sliders from The Girl Who Ate Everything

We have had these before and I can’t tell you how fabulous they really are.  I originally found the recipe on The Girl Who Ate Everything – a great site.  Sometimes I forget about them, but thanks to Menu Plan Monday they were brought up again.  Cant’ wait to have these again!
Ham and Cheese Sliders
Source: adapted slightly from the Recipe Club

Ingredients:

    • 24 good white dinner rolls
    • 24 pieces good honey ham
    • 24 small slices Swiss cheese
    • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
    • 1/3 cup miracle whip

Poppy seed sauce

  • 1 Tablespoon poppyseeds
  • 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. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss inside of each roll. Close rolls and place them into a large baking dish or heavy cookie sheet. Place very close together.

In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the poppy seed sauce ingredients. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. You do not have to use all of the sauce! Just use enough to cover the tops. 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: Sandwiches can be assembled a day ahead and kept in the fridge ready to bake.
