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.

Thank you lemmy for helping me on my quest to recreate a childhood dish!

      I was looking at this wiki page and it didn’t really look familiar, so I looked up a slider version:

      https://www.servedfromscratch.com/croque-monsieur-sliders/

      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!
