Get ready for the ultimate party or finger food that will make your taste buds do the happy dance – Garlic-Herb Ham and Cheese Sliders. These mouthwatering bites are made savory with the addition of garlic and herbs, drizzled in a garlic/shallot butter, and baked until tender and golden.

First things first, you’ll need to decide on the type of slider bun you want. Go for something with a natural subtle sweetness, like Hawaiian buns or potato buns. Just make sure you keep all the slider buns connected, and slice straight across, horizontally. Watch those fingers, though – you don’t want any accidents!
Next, you’ll want something to spread on the tops and bottoms of the slider buns. A garlic and herb cheese spread is the way to go – think Boursin brand. If you can’t find that, mix some finely minced or grated garlic with dried herbs like thyme, parsley, and basil, and add it to some softened cream cheese.
Now it’s time to add the ham and cheese. Black forest ham is a personal favorite, but go for your favorite variety. For the cheese, provolone, white American, gruyere, and mozzarella are all great options. Feel free to mix and match to find your perfect combo!
Pop the tops back on the ham and cheese bottoms, and you’re ready for the second to last step – the sauce. This garlic/shallot butter is the stuff dreams are made of. Mix together butter, garlic, mustard, parsley, and shallots, and you’ll be in flavor heaven. Drizzle that over the top of the buns, and you’re almost finished!

Bake those sliders until golden and gooey, and you’ll be the star of the party. Ta-da! Delicious ham and cheese sliders, comin’ up!
Want to make these ahead of time? No problem! Prepare the sliders as directed, but don’t bake. Cover tightly with foil and freeze for 1-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake as directed. You can also refrigerate for up to a day and bake when you’re ready.

These sliders are perfect for a party, but they’re also great as a dinner option. Serve them alongside some Garlic Parmesan Scalloped Potatoes and a simple green salad, and you’ve got a meal fit for a king.

So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to wow your friends and family with these mouthwatering Garlic-Herb Ham and Cheese Sliders. They’re the perfect combination of savory, cheesy, and delicious!

Some other great options to serve alongside these sliders include Bacon Cheeseburger Dip, Spinach Dip, and Smoked Chicken Wings. The possibilities are endless!
