1 lb thinly sliced Black Forest ham (about 24 slices)

04 -
1/4 cup honey mustard (store-bought)
05 -
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
→ Topping

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
07 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
08 -
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
→ Serving
09 -
Toothpicks for serving
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Slice each mini pretzel slider bun horizontally using a serrated knife, keeping the halves attached if possible for easier assembly.
02 -
Combine honey mustard with mayonnaise if using, stirring until smooth to balance creaminess and acidity.
03 -
Spread the honey mustard mixture on the cut sides of the buns. Layer about 2 slices of ham and half a slice of provolone cheese on each bottom half, then replace the tops.
04 -
Mix melted butter with garlic powder and sesame seeds; brush this mixture generously over the tops of the assembled sliders.
05 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange sliders on a baking sheet, cover loosely with foil, and bake 12 to 14 minutes until cheese melts and buns heat through. Uncover and bake 2 to 3 additional minutes for browning if desired.
06 -
Secure each slider with a toothpick and serve immediately to enjoy warm ham, melted cheese, and crisp pretzel tops.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Lightly toast buns cut-side-up before assembly to prevent sogginess and maintain pretzel texture.
02 -
Arrange sliders with space between them while baking for even cheese melting and browning.
03 -
Assemble up to one day ahead; refrigerate covered and apply butter topping just before baking.
