Mini Biscuit Sliders Ingredients

The Slider Base:

• 1 can Refrigerated Biscuits (10-count): The buttermilk or “homestyle” varieties work best here. Avoid “flaky layers” if possible, as they can separate too much, but any standard can will do.
• 1/2 lb Shaved Ham: Deli ham, leftover spiral ham, or even turkey works well. Shaved meat piles up better than thick slices.
• 1 cup Grated Swiss or Emmenthaler Cheese: These cheeses melt beautifully and offer a nutty flavor that pairs classically with ham.

The Flavor Boosters:

• Honey Mustard: For a tangy swipe inside the slider that cuts the richness.
• 1 tbsp Melted Butter: To brush on before baking for a golden crust.
• 2 tbsp Warm Honey: The finishing touch brushed on after baking for a sticky, sweet glaze.

How To Make Mini Biscuit Sliders

1. Preheat: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Split the Dough: Open the biscuit can (brace yourself for the pop!). Take each raw biscuit and carefully split it horizontally in half, so you end up with 20 thinner biscuit rounds.
3. Assemble: Place the bottom halves in the prepared dish. Swipe a little honey mustard on each base. Pile a small mound of shaved ham and a pinch of grated Swiss cheese onto each one. Cap them with the top biscuit halves. Arrange them snugly in the dish so they support each other.
4. Butter and Bake: Melt the tablespoon of butter and brush it generously over the tops of the raw biscuits. Bake for 12–15 minutes. They should be puffed high and deep golden brown.
5. The Honey Finish: While they bake, warm the honey slightly in the microwave (about 10 seconds). As soon as the sliders come out of the oven, brush the warm honey over the hot biscuit tops. Serve immediately while warm.

Recipe Tips

• The “Snug” Factor: Packing the sliders into the dish so they touch is actually beneficial. It forces the biscuits to rise up rather than spreading out, keeping your sliders tall and fluffy.
• Cheese Grating: Grating your own block of Swiss or Emmenthaler melts significantly better than pre-shredded bagged cheese, which is coated in anti-caking agents.
• Separating Biscuits: If the raw biscuits are sticky and hard to split evenly, use a sharp serrated knife to saw through them rather than pulling them apart, which can deform the dough.
• Variations: Swap the honey mustard for a fig jam for a more sophisticated flavor profile, or use garlic butter on top instead of honey for a savory twist.

What To Serve With Mini Biscuit Sliders

• Pickles: A spear of dill pickle on the side is the perfect acid.
• Potato Chips: Simple salty chips complement the soft biscuits.
• Vegetable Platter: Fresh carrots and celery with ranch.
• Fruit Salad: A light side for a brunch setting.

How To Store Mini Biscuit Sliders

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheating: Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes. Microwaving them will make the biscuit dough rubbery and tough.
