EDIT: TITLE FIX: I am trying to figure out the name for this ham sandwich recipe and I am losing it!!
I have been trying to find this h sandwich recipe my mom used to make all the time for me as a kid so that I can attempt to veganize it!
It was this ham and cheese slider recipe, usually these types of sandwiches could potentially be seen at mormon funerals/gatherings (at least most of the ones I was drug to
. These ham and cheese sliders were made with ham, I think some sort of white cheese (maybe swiss?), slider bread, and the piece of resistance was the sauce. Oh… The sauce… Its like this Mayonnaise with herbs in it I think. Maybe parsley? Oregano? I have no idea but this sauce made the sandwich. Paired with the whatever cheese the sandwich made it so moist… The sauce made the sandwhich a sweetish savory.Again I have no idea the name of the sandwich, looking up sandwich ham & cheese sliders just gives me… Sliders with melted cheese and ham. Idk if any of the ingredients I listed are correct, it’s just what it looked/tasted like (from memory)
I’m pretty sure you bake these sliders with the sauce and everything put together, my mom would always pull out cookie sheets/ pans from the oven full of them.

Piece of resistance 🤌🤌
It does sound like a croque monsieur though, as another person pointed out – could the sauce you’re thinking of be béchamel?
Edit: I’ve also found a Mormon blog from 2014 describing “Ham Delights” which do remind me more of sliders, but seem to lack the sauce you’re describing – still could be worth a peek: https://mormonmavens.blogspot.com/2014/05/ham-delights-party-favorite.html?m=1

Did you try “aioli” in the search to make sure you’re getting results with the sauce? It basically means fancy flavored mayo, and I see tons of ham and swiss slider on hawaiian roll recipes searching with that.

Is it the Croque monsieur - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croque_monsieur
I was looking at this wiki page and it didn’t really look familiar, so I looked up a slider version:
Croque Monsieur Sliders
Elevate your ham and cheese sliders by adding a bechamel-like sauce to create the most amazing Croque Monsieur Sliders!
Served From Scratch (www.servedfromscratch.com)
This looks the most like it however we never poured the sauce and cheese on top of the bread (at least to my limited child memory and interpretation). Maybe my mom would do it differently but she would make the sauce (the sauce contained thyme I am pretty sure just like this sandwich) ans spreadit on the rolls, then put ham, cheese, then top bun.
I was wrong about the cookie sheet now that I am remembering, I think she would wrap them individually in tinfoil and toss them in the oven. I have memories of cheesy tinfoily goodness.
Thank you so much for your time and answer!

When I look at the recipe it kind of looks familiar, all of the béchamel sauces I have looked up look kind of similar they just seem to lack rhe amount of herbs (parsley/thyme) that i remember seeping out the side of the sliders. (It wasn’t like the sauce was green it was still whit just lots of green flecks from memory)
I also misrecalled it being cooked on a cookie sheet/pan. I remember my mom individually wrapped these suckers in tin foil (maybe moreso for transport and eas of access at these gatherings). At least that is what I recall (sorry my memory is shit
) maybe they were in a pan sometimes.The other main Issue I see with this sandwich is we never put cheese and sauce on top of the bread to make it crispy. Who knows though my mom was known for altering recipes to her liking, and we just grew up with it being the norm. Like my mom’s tuna noodle caserole was made with canned chicken instead of tuna because she hates the tastw and smell of fish
.Wouldn’t be surprised if this was some “we have croque monsieur at home” the crock monsieur at home:
All I know is… If it is… The crock monsieur at home is delicious…
That blog post you linked I don’t think is it because I don recall poppyseeds.
Thank you so much for your help! It is greatly appreciated!!

Perhaps it’s some sort of ham and cheese sliders on sweet Hawaiian rolls? I’ve made these before and they’re delicious. The Hawaiian rolls give it a sweetness especially if you use a honey ham, and you brush them with a garlic butter and cover with foil to bake, then bake uncovered for the last ~10 min to get a slight browning on top. I suggest you try experimenting with different sauces by adding different herbs to mayo (& mustard if you like) until it fits your liking. Personally, I love to put pickle slices in my ham and cheese sliders – or pickled jalapenos if I’m feeling spicier!
It may not be the exact same thing your mom made, but trust me these are worth trying

I have always heard of these called Funeral Sandwiches, but the herbed topping i have always seen is just butter
good luck with your hunt!

Yes! These are definitely funeral sandwiches - the sauce is usually melted butter mixed with worcestershire, dijon mustard, and herbs (thyme/parsley) that gets poured over the assembled sliders before baking, which is why they’re so damn moist and flavorful.
