The Magic of the Dijon Sauce
The secret ingredient to these sliders is the simple, yet flavourful Dijon sauce. With melted butter, minced onion and the tang of Dijon mustard, it’s a taste explosion. Once baked, it creates a lovely golden crust that's simply irresistible.
Let’s Get Cooking!
Here's a simple recipe to get you started. Feel free to use the Menuistia app to adapt this to your own health and dietary requirements:
Ingredients:
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls (or wholewheat if you like)
- 1/2 lb sliced deli ham (or a leaner version, if you prefer)
- 12 pickle slices (make sure they're crunchy!)
- 6 slices of Swiss cheese, quartered (or your favourite light cheese)
For the Dijon spread:
- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- 1/2 stick of butter, melted (or light butter alternative)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions:
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Assemble: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half. Place the bottom halves in the baking dish. Layer with ham, cheese, and pickles. Top with the other halves of the rolls.
- Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, and minced onion. Pour evenly over the sliders.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 10, until golden brown. Serve hot and watch them disappear!
