- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 clove garlic, minced (or ¼ tsp garlic powder)
- 1 tsp dried parsley (or 1 tbsp fresh)
- Pinch of onion powder (optional)
Pro Tips:
- Use high-quality ham—avoid overly salty or processed varieties.
- Don’t skip the Dijon—it cuts through richness and adds depth.
- Tent with foil if tops brown too quickly.
Step-by-Step Instructions (Flaky, Cheesy, Foolproof)
1. Prep & Preheat
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Assemble the Sliders
- Separate biscuits; place on baking sheet.
- Use a small round cutter or knife to hollow out the center of each biscuit (optional—creates a “pocket”).
- Spread ½ tsp Dijon inside each biscuit.
- Layer ham and Swiss cheese inside or between biscuit halves.
- Close biscuits gently (like sandwiches).
3. Make the Herb Butter
- Mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, and onion powder.
4. Bake & Finish
- Brush tops generously with herb butter.
- Bake 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Optional: Broil 1–2 minutes for extra crispness.
5. Serve Warm
- Let rest 2–3 minutes (cheese is molten hot!).
- Serve immediately while biscuits are flaky and cheese is gooey.
