Ingredients:
- 12 mini croissants
- 1 lb (450g) thinly sliced ham
- 12 slices Swiss cheese or cheese of your choice
- ¼ cup (60g) mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 2 teaspoons minced onion
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the Sauce
In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey. Mix well until smooth. This will serve as your dressing to add flavor and moisture to the sliders.
Step 3: Slice the Croissants
Carefully cut the mini croissants in half horizontally, ensuring that they remain connected on one side to hold the fillings together.
Step 4: Assemble the Sliders
Spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise-mustard-honey mixture on the inside of each croissant half. Layer with slices of ham and Swiss cheese, then replace the top of the croissant.
Step 5: Prepare the Topping
In another small bowl, mix the melted butter, poppy seeds, minced onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Step 6: Add the Topping
Arrange the sandwiches snugly in the prepared baking dish. Use a pastry brush or spoon to drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the tops of the sliders. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
Step 7: Bake the Sliders
Place the covered dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops of the croissants are lightly golden.
Step 8: Serve Warm
Once baked, remove the sliders from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes, then use a sharp knife to separate and serve them warm. Enjoy these delightful appetizers with your favorite beverage!
