Preheat the air fryer to 300 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, poppyseeds, Worcestershire sauce, and onion powder. Set aside.
Slice the dinner rolls through the middle. Place the bottoms on the prepared baking sheet.
On top of the roll bottoms, create layers of ham and cheese. Add the tops of the dinner rolls.
Cut the sandwiches apart. Place the sliders into the air fryer in a single layer with a small space between the sandwiches to allow the air to circulate.
Brush the butter mixture over the sliders.
Air fry for 5 to 8 minutes or until the cheese has melted, and the sandwiches are browned.

Choose a soft, fluffy bun. The bun plays a big role in the texture and overall taste of the slider. Look for buns that are light and airy, yet sturdy enough to hold up to the fillings.

Use deli-sliced ham. Deli ham is thin and easy to layer, which makes it the perfect choice for sliders. Feel free to use any type of ham you like, whether it's smoked, honey-glazed, or black forest.

Mix up the cheeses. While cheddar cheese is the classic option for ham and cheese sliders, don't be afraid to mix things up. Try using Swiss cheese for a milder taste, or pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick.

Add some flavor with condiments. Mayo, mustard, and honey mustard are all great choices for adding some extra flavor to your sliders. You can also try adding some BBQ sauce or ranch dressing for a fun twist.

Layer your fillings. To ensure that each bite is full of flavor, it's important to layer your fillings in a specific order. Start with the ham, then add the cheese, and finish with any condiments or toppings.

Toast or grill your sliders. To take your sliders to the next level, try toasting or grilling them for a few minutes. This will give them a nice crispy texture and help to melt the cheese.
