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!

    😂😂

    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!!
