Receta Ham & Cheese Sliders
Are you ready for some football? Well, I know I am, especially now that I have Holly Clegg’s wonderful recipe for Ham & Cheese Sliders! This would be perfect to serve at home football watching party or to take tailgating. If I were you, I’d make some extra and stash them in the back of the refrigerator for the kids to take in their lunch Monday morning.
My grocery store has special slider buns, both in white bread and whole wheat. For your gluten free guests, you can use Udi’s Gluten Free hamburger buns, cut in half.

These Ham and Cheese Sliders are an updated delicious twist on a classic. Sliders are a great way to feed a crowd with easy savory pick-ups that don’t require extra fuss. You can easily make ahead of time, keep in the refrigerator or freezer and add the poppy seed sauce when you are ready to bake. Try substituting thinly sliced turkey if you would rather.
