Fall Recipe – Ham and Cheese Sliders

Ingredients:
•    4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, divided
•    2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
•    1 cup whole milk
•    1/2 tsp. kosher salt
•    1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
•    2 Tbsp. whole-grain mustard
•    1 Tbsp. honey
•    12 Hawaiian sweet rolls (such as King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls), split
•    1 lb. thinly sliced deli ham
•    8 oz. Gruyère cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
•    1 Tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions
1.    Prepare oven and baking dish:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease an 11- x 7-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.

2.    Make sauce:
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high. Add flour; cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk; bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium; cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in salt and nutmeg. Set it aside.

3.    Make honey-mustard mixture:
Stir together mustard and honey in a small bowl; set aside. Microwave the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small microwavable bowl on HIGH until melted, about 20 seconds.

4.    Build sliders:
Arrange bottom roll halves in prepared baking dish; spread evenly with honey-mustard. Top evenly with ham, milk sauce, and cheese. Replace top roll halves, brush tops evenly with melted butter, and sprinkle with parsley. Cover with aluminum foil.

5.    Bake sliders:
Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove and discard foil. Continue baking until cheese is melted and rolls are golden, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
