Ham and Cheese Sliders Ingredients

• Rolls - sweet Hawaiian rolls
• Ham - thinly sliced
• Cheese - Swiss cheese slices
• Mayonnaise
• Butter
• Mustard - dijon mustard
• Honey
• Poppy seeds
• Onion - dried minced onion

Swiss cheese pairs deliciously with the Ham in these Hawaiian roll sliders, but you could also use other types of cheese including cheddar, Monterrey Jack, pepper Jack, Colby Jack, mozzarella, or provolone. You can even add extra layers of cheese. 

You can use your favorite flavor of ham such as roasted or honey ham, or you can even use thinly sliced leftover baked ham. If you prefer you can also substitute other deli meats such as turkey, chicken, or roast beef. 

Soft and sweet Hawaiian rolls work beautifully for this recipe, but you can also use plain dinner rolls, potato slider buns, or small plain hamburger buns. Don’t skimp on the butter when it comes to the topping. The butter sauce soaks into all the nooks and crannies and adds a ton of flavor to the slider buns.

FIRST STEP: Preheat the oven or grill to 350°F, then use cooking spray in the bottom of the pan.

SECOND STEP: Slice rolls down the middle and leave intact.

THIRD STEP: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom layer of rolls and place them in the bottom of the pan.

SIXTH STEP: Cover with foil and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and rolls are golden brown.

Can I make ham and cheese sliders ahead of time? 

You can assemble these sliders up to two days before baking and leave them covered in the fridge until you’re ready to pop them in the oven. If you are starting them off cold, you might need to add a few extra minutes in the oven.

What can I add to my sliders? 

Add a layer of banana peppers or pickled jalapeños in your sliders for an extra kick. You could also add some crispy cooked bacon to the sliders, either as whole strips or crumbles. 

Can I freeze sliders? 

Yes, ham and cheese sliders can be frozen in an airtight container for up to three months. Allow them to thaw for about 30 minutes before baking.

How to Store Ham and Cheese Sliders 

IN THE FRIDGE:  Wrap leftover sliders with plastic wrap and aluminum foil before storing them in the refrigerator.
