How to Make These Ham and Cheese Sliders
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 (12-count) package sweet Hawaiian rolls
- ½ pound thinly sliced cooked deli honey ham
- ½ pound thinly sliced Swiss cheese
We love this recipe with Swiss cheese, but feel free to swap in cheddar or gouda for a delightful twist. The real secret lies in the buttery herb topping that elevates these sliders!

For the Butter Mixture, You Will Need:
- 4 tablespoons melted salted butter
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
The mustard and honey provide a delightful tanginess which perfectly complements the ham.
Steps to Make These Sliders
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, mustard, honey, dried parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- Without pulling the rolls apart, slice the package of rolls in half as you would a bagel, creating a bottom and top half.
- Place the bottom half in a greased baking dish, cut side facing up.
- Layer half of the ham, followed by all the cheese, then top with remaining ham. Finally, place the top half of the rolls on top.
- Brush the melted butter mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours, or bake immediately.
- Bake for 12 minutes covered, then uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.
Recipe Variations
If ham isn’t your favorite, you can easily use turkey instead. Swiss cheese isn’t the only option; feel free to experiment with cheddar, provolone, or even pepper jack. While Hawaiian rolls are ideal for this recipe due to their sweetness, any slider bun will work in a pinch.
