The BEST Ham and Swiss Sliders Recipe (2024)

FAQs

How do you keep sliders from getting soggy? ›

How do I keep my sliders from getting soggy? To ensure these mini sandwiches don't get soggy, pop the split rolls under the broiler for a few minutes to toast them before building the sliders. This helps keep the bread sturdy so the sandwiches don't fall apart.

While Swiss is the first cheese that comes to mind with ham, Cheddar is second in popularity (and the first choice for many) for a classic ham and cheese sandwich, and makes a nice plate partner for ham. The sharpness of Cheddar cheese cuts through the sweetness of the glaze and balances the ham's saltiness.

I prefer to use an unsweetened ham from the deli. Since the glaze brings the sweetness factor, no need for the honey ham. I've found that I can leave the poppy seeds out and they taste just as delicious. I also sometimes omit the mustard if these are being made for kids.

Therefore, it's best to stick to a classic white, soft hamburger bun, which comes in smaller sizes for sliders.

They're called Funeral Sandwiches because they were traditionally served after a funeral at the church memorial service.

You really don't need much else, however, I do like a good pinch of cracked black pepper and a very thin spread of dijon mustard. Just make sure it's a very thin layer of mustard, just so it doesn't overpower the sandwich.

Just place ham, apples, honey, arugula, and goat cheese on top of a sliced baguette drizzled with olive oil. Use kale instead of arugula or crumb up some Ricotta instead of goat cheese. Make a fresh apple slaw to serve with your sandwich.

Swiss cheese and baby swiss are made in a similar fashion, but baby swiss is made in smaller batches, matured in smaller rounds or wheels, and is allowed to ripen for a shorter period of time. As a result, the flavor of baby swiss is milder and the iconic holes or "eyes" of Swiss cheese are smaller.

Sprinkle the seeds directly on the ground. This can even be done with snow on the ground, just sprinkle seeds on top of the snow, and as the snow melts down, the seeds will reach the soil. Because poppy seeds are so small, you can mix the seeds with some sand to help you distribute the seeds evenly.

At least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) before making the batter, stir the poppy seeds into 1/4 cup (60 ml) hot water (this step softens the poppy seeds so they are more digestible). Let sit at room temperature. Then strain.

What's the difference between a slider and a sandwich? ›

A slider is an American term for a small sandwich, typically around 2 inches (5 cm) across, made with a bun or dinner roll. Sliders can be served as hors d'oeuvres, snacks, or entrées. They have become a popular game day appetizer in the United States.

3 sliders per serving is generally recognised as the norm, though any amount can be consumed. Many restaurants & fast food outlets serve sliders whether it is as a snack to partner up with a chilled beer, or as a collection to enjoy as the main event.

If you're making the sliders for a party and want to keep the cheeseburgers warm, once they're cooked, place them in a slow cooker on warm. I use this Casserole Crock Pot. Keep the buns and toppings on the side.

Don't stress, there are a few options you can use when keeping appetizers warm. Your first option is to place your baked sliders straight into an aluminum tray and cover tightly with foil. The second option is, as soon as the sliders come out of the oven, stack them one by one into a crockpot set to warm.

Ideally, you should aim to make your sandwiches as close to the day of your party as possible for the best flavor and freshness. I recommend making your sandwiches no more than 48hrs in advance for the best flavor come party time. So there you have it!

For long-term storage, freezing your sandwiches is a good option. Frozen sandwiches can last up to six months. Like sandwiches stored in the refrigerator, it's not a good idea to freeze fresh vegetables on your sandwich. But you can add sauce and condiments to your frozen sliders, if you want.
