Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Slice the sandwich buns in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms connected. Place the bun bottoms in the prepared baking dish.
Layer a slice of ham on each bun bottom, followed by half a slice of Swiss cheese. Replace the bun tops to form mini sandwiches.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, poppy seeds, minced onion, and garlic powder until fully combined and heated through. Remove from heat.
Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the buns, making sure to coat all the edges and allowing the glaze to drip down the sides.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops of the buns are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the buns cool for a few minutes before serving. These appetizers can be served warm or at room temperature.
