Ingredients

  • 12 small dinner rolls or slider buns
  • 12 slices Deli Ham
  • 6 slices Baby Swiss Cheese halved

FOR THE SRIRACHA MAYO

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • Salt to taste

FOR THE CRACK SAUCE

  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • 1 small shallot minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon spicy chili flakes
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

MAKE THE SRIRACHA MAYO

  • Whisk together the mayo, sriracha, lemon juice, garlic and salt until well combined. Set aside.

FOR THE CRACK HAM AND CHEESE SLIDERS

  • Heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Set the bottoms of the rolls in a large baking pan and slather on the sriracha mayo.
  • Add to each a slice of ham. Fold the slice so it properly fits on the bun.
  • Top the ham with a half slice of cheese.
  • Add the bun tops.

FOR THE CRACK SAUCE

  • Whisk together the melted butter, mustard, shallot, garlic, chili flakes and Worcestershire sauce. Generously brush the mixture over the slider buns. Use it all up! Sprinkle on a few more chili flakes for good measure!
  • For Crispy Sliders: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheeses are nice and melty and the buns are toasted.
  • For Soft Sliders: Cover in aluminum foil and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheeses are nice and melty.
  • Serve!

Notes

Make Ahead: Let the sliders sit for up to a day after you brush on the crack sauce. Store the baking dish in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
