Brown Butter Ham & Cheese Sliders
Ham & Cheese sliders are an easy crowd pleasing sandwich that’s perfect for football fare.
Ingredients:
24 Hawaiian rolls
24 one-inch pieces Five Star Home Foods spiral sliced ham
24 small slices Swiss cheese
⅔ cup mayonnaise
Brown Butter sauce:
1 ½ Tablespoons yellow mustard
½ cup butter melted
1 Tablespoon minced onion
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Slice rolls lengthwise with a large serrated knife. Spread the mayonnaise onto both sides of the center of each roll. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss inside of each roll. Close rolls and place them into a large baking dish. Place very close together.
*Please note that browning butter is pretty quick, so don’t leave the stove unattended.*
Place the butter in a light-colored pan over medium heat. Stir the butter the entire time to keep it moving. Once the butter is melted it will begin to foam and sizzle around the edges. In about 5-8 minutes, the butter will turn golden brown. Some of the foam will subside and the milk solids at the bottom will be toasty brown. The butter will smell intensely buttery and nutty. Remove from the pan and pour the butter into a medium glass bowl. Add the remaining ingredients of the Brown Butter Sauce and whisk together. Pour the sauce evenly over all of the sandwiches. You do not have to use all of the sauce! Just use enough to cover the tops. Let sit for 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly. Cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Uncover and cook for 2 additional minutes or until the tops of the rolls are slightly brown and crispy.
