Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 sliders
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground ham
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 12 slider buns
- 6 slices cheese (Swiss or cheddar)
- 1 tablespoon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground ham, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, milk, and egg. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Shape the ham mixture into 12 small oval-shaped patties, ensuring they are uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly brown the ham patties on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. This will help develop a nice exterior crust.
- Place the browned ham patties on the prepared baking sheet.
- Split the slider buns horizontally and spread a thin layer of mustard on the bottom half of each bun.
- Place a ham patty on each bun bottom, then top with a slice of cheese.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the ham patties are heated through.
- Remove from oven and immediately top with the upper half of the slider buns.
- Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then serve warm. Optional: wrap in foil to keep warm if not serving immediately.
Tips
- For extra flavor, try using a mix of ground ham and ground pork for a more complex taste profile.
- Ensure your ham patties are evenly sized to guarantee consistent cooking and a professional presentation.
- Use freshly grated cheese instead of pre-sliced for better melting and richer flavor.
- Don't skip browning the ham patties in the skillet - this step adds a delicious caramelized exterior.
- For a crispy top, brush the slider bun tops with melted butter before the final bake.
- These sliders can be prepared ahead of time and kept warm in a low-temperature oven (200°F) for up to 30 minutes before serving.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like smoked gouda or pepper jack for unique flavor variations.
