Ham and Cheese Sliders
Description
Ham and Cheese Sliders start with a base of 12 Hawaiian-style rolls sliced horizontally but kept connected. Layers of thinly sliced deli ham and Swiss cheese are placed between the halves. The top buns are covered with a butter-based mixture containing Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, dried minced onion, and Worcestershire sauce, imparting a tangy and savory crust once baked.
Baked first covered to melt the cheese smoothly, then uncovered to brown the tops lightly, the sliders develop a golden, slightly crisp finish. The soft rolls provide a tender contrast to the cheese and ham, while the butter topping adds moisture and a flavorful crust.
These sliders serve well as a snack or appetizer, suitable for sharing at parties or casual meals. They can be cut easily into individual portions. Assembly up to 4 hours ahead and refrigeration helps preparation for gatherings.
Various ham types work for this recipe, with honey or smoked ham common choices, and cheese can be varied to suit taste preferences. The recipe yields 12 sliders, with typical servings being two per person.
Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian style rolls cut in half crosswise, do not separate the rolls

- In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, mustard, poppy seeds, dried onion and Worcestershire sauce.
- Drizzle the butter mixture over the tops of the rolls.

Notes
- This recipe makes 12 sliders; most people eat about two each, so plan accordingly or increase the recipe for larger groups.
- Thinly sliced deli ham varieties like honey or smoked ham work well, and Swiss cheese gives a classic flavor; other cheeses such as cheddar or provolone can be used.
- Sliders can be assembled up to 4 hours prior and stored covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
