Cheddar bacon muffins are the base of these festive ham sliders. Salty ham is layered with creamy mustard cream cheese spread and spicy cranberry chutney.
I’ve mentioned before that The Husband is an avid reader of Garden & Gun magazine.
The front cover of their October / November featured these absolutely delectable ham sliders on biscuits laden with jelly. I flipped through that entire magazine over to cover at least three times searching for the recipe and never could find it.
Why do that to me? I WANTED those sliders. But it looked like the only way I was going to get them was to come up with my own recipe.
It was actually pretty simple. I have a pretty great cheddar bacon muffin recipe I modified a bit to use as the base. Then I layered a creamy mustard and cream cheese spread with salty smoked ham and topped the entire thing off with a festive sweet and spicy jalapeno cranberry chutney.
These little gems are perfect as a holiday appetizer or Christmas brunch. But don’t write these off once the holidays are over. Substitute the cranberry chutney for strawberry jam an enjoy them all year long.
