What you will need

This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:

  • 8 count slider buns split
  • 8 oz deli ham sliced
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Step by step instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil. Arrange the bottom halves of the slider buns on the baking sheet and layer the deli ham evenly over each bun bottom.

Step 2: Add Cheese and Tops

Place cheese slices over the ham covering each slider generously. Place the bun tops over the cheese to complete each slider. Mix melted butter with Dijon mustard and brush the mixture generously over the tops of all the buns.

Step 3: Bake and Serve

Bake the sliders for 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the bun tops are golden brown and toasted. Remove from oven and serve hot straight from the baking sheet.

Easy substitutions

Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:

  • deli ham → turkey or roast beef slices for a different savory flavor
  • cheddar cheese → Swiss or provolone for a milder meltier result

Common mistakes to avoid

Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:

  • Skipping the butter and mustard topping which gives the buns their golden delicious finish
  • Not covering the baking dish with foil which can cause the tops to brown too fast before cheese melts
