Get ready to savor the delectable combination of melted cheese, savory ham, and mouthwatering flavors in these irresistible sliders.
Ingredients in Ham and Cheese Sliders
- King’s Hawaiian Rolls – I used the savory butter rolls for this recipe, but you can also use the Hawaiian Sweet Rolls!
- Deli Ham Slices – I usually use honey ham from the deli counter at the grocery store
- Swiss Cheese – Swiss is great for sliders because it adds a lot of flavor and melts great!
- Butter Sauce – a mixture of melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, and dried minced onion. You can use onion powder if you don’t have the dried minced onion.
Variations
This recipe is great because of how simple it is. However, if you want to switch up your ham and cheese sliders, there are a few great variations we can recommend!
- Spice It Up – add jalapeños, sriracha mayo, or spicy mustard to your sliders
- Everything Sliders – instead of poppy seeds and minced onion, use Everything But the Bagel Seasoning in the butter mixture
- Sweet Additions – Add pineapple slices to the sliders or use honey mustard instead of dijon for a sweeter flavor
- Go Gourmet – swap out the deli ham and Swiss cheese for some brie and prosciutto. Spread fig jam over the bottom layer of rolls for even more fancy flavor.
- Meat Lovers – add a layer of cooked sliced bacon and/or turkey to the sliders
- Cheese Swaps – instead of Swiss, try cheddar cheese, provolone, or havarti
Frequently Asked Questions about Ham and Cheese Sliders
If you are worried about soggy sliders, then make sure to cut the bottom half a little bigger than the top half of the rolls. You can also toast the bottom half for a few minutes before assembling the sliders.
Any of your favorite bbq or game day menu items pair great with sliders – potato salad, fruit salad, a veggie tray, chili, chips, fries, etc.
Keep the tinfoil on until you are ready to serve.
Store leftover sliders in an airtight container or wrapped with plastic wrap. Store in the fridge and eat within a day or two for the best taste. Reheat them in the oven for the best bread texture.

How to Make Ham and Cheese Sliders
Ham and Cheese Sliders
Ingredients
- 1 package Hawaiian rolls 12 rolls
- 1 pound sliced deli ham
- 1/2 pound sliced swiss cheese
Sauce
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Mix together and set aside.
- Do not separate the rolls. With a serrated knife, slice them in half long ways so you have a long slab of bottom sides. Place the slab of bottoms in a baking dish.
- Layer ½ of the ham, then all of the cheese, the the other ½ of the ham on the bottom layer of rolls.
- Place the slab of tops onto the top layer of ham. Using a pastry brush or basting brush, brush the butter sauce over the tops of the rolls. It will pool on the sides and the corners and that is okay.
- Cover with tin foil and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Slice and serve! It is easier to slice if you take the whole slab of sliders out of the pan and cut them on a cutting board.
Notes
- If you like the rolls a little crispier, then bake without the tinfoil.
- Spice It Up – add jalapeños, sriracha mayo, or spicy mustard to your sliders
-
- Sweet Additions – Add pineapple slices to the sliders or use honey mustard instead of dijon for a sweeter flavor
- Go Gourmet – swap out the deli ham and Swiss cheese for some brie and prosciutto. Spread fig jam over the bottom layer of rolls for even more fancy flavor
