Sliders

12–24 rolls soft white rolls, standard or small, joined in a 23 x 33 cm / 9 x 13-inch slab
⅓ cup American mustard, for spreading
350g/ 12 oz ham (, shaved or thinly sliced (up to 500g/1lb, Note 3))
250 g (8 oz) Swiss cheese, or other melting cheese, 10 to 12 slices

Onion poppyseed butter

100 g (7 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
¼ onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp American mustard
1 tbsp poppyseeds, optional
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder, or fresh garlic, finely minced
½ tsp cooking or kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper

Equipment

Oven
23 x 33 cm / 13 x 9-inch baking pan
Baking paper
Foil

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F (160°C fan-forced). Line the base of a 23 x 33 cm / 13 x 9-inch pan with baking paper.
Step 2: Mix the onion poppyseed butter ingredients together.
Step 3: Cut the slab of rolls in half horizontally. Spread the cut sides of the base and lid with the 1/3 cup mustard. Place the bread base in the pan, top with ham, then cheese. Leave the lid off for now.
Step 4: Bake without the lid for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Step 5: Remove the bread from the oven. Put the bread lid on top and pour or spoon the butter over it, covering the surface.
Step 6: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 7: Remove the foil. Pierce the intersections where the corners of the rolls meet to help the pooled butter soak into the bread.
Step 8: Bake uncovered for 10 minutes, or until the top is crusty.
Step 9: Cut while hot and serve.

Notes

Use any ham you like; shaved or thinly sliced ham works well, and you can use up to 500 g / 1 lb if slicing it yourself. Any melting cheese can stand in for Swiss. Mild mustard can replace American mustard; avoid hot English mustard and wholegrain mustard.

Poppyseeds are optional. If you do not have a 23 x 33 cm / 9 x 13-inch pan, use a tray lined with foil and wrap the bread to hold in the butter as it bakes.

Store leftovers for 3 to 4 days, subject to the remaining shelf life of the ham. Reheat in the oven.
