Don’t you just love a good recipe that goes the extra mile? As a new mama, I certainly do. These mouthwatering ham and cheese sliders fit the bill for brunch, lunch, dinner and weekend parties. Hot out of the oven, or served at room temperature, these sliders are buttery soft and melt-in-your-mouth delicious – one is never enough!
They’re always the first food to go at our neighborhood happy hours, and as an easy weeknight option that yields lots of leftovers… at least for the two of us! Leftovers are lucky if they make it long in this house, especially these scrumptious sliders. They’re usually demolished by dinner the next day!
All you need are dinner rolls (Hawaiian rolls are best), deli meat, Swiss cheese (or use cheddar, Colby jack or Monterey jack) and a handful of pantry staples for the tangy topping. Just assemble your sliders and squeeze ‘em in tight together on a baking sheet. Whisk up a mixture of melted butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, dried onion and poppy seeds, and pour it all over the top of the sandwiches. Bake ‘til buttery golden brown, have a little taste test, and then just TRY stopping at one!
You’re going to love these delicious ham and Swiss sliders. They can be made a day ahead and kept in your fridge before baking, and you can definitely double the recipe for a big crowd. Also, feel free to swap in your favorite cheeses and deli meats if ham and Swiss aren’t your thing. Get creative!
However you dish them up, these cheesy, toasty sliders are always a huge hit!
Baked Ham and Swiss Sliders
Ingredients
- 12 white dinner rolls, I used Hawaiian rolls
- 12 pieces sliced honey ham
- 12 small slices Swiss cheese
- 3 Tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 Tablespoon dried chopped/minced onion flakes
- 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Halve dinner rolls and place 1 slice each of ham and Swiss inside each roll. Place rolls very close together on the baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, onion flakes, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. Let sit 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
- Uncover and cook for 3-4 additional minutes, or until tops are slightly brown and crispy. Serve warm.
- Enjoy!
Lovely thing for breakfast!
I love how easy and quick these are to put together. Not to mention they look scrumptious, too! What I love the most is definitely the topping sauce, can’t wait to give it a go!

Mmmm, these look so great! It doesn’t have to be overly complicated, not with the comfort of cheese and ham anyway :D Would definitely be chuffed to have these to the start of my day ^ ^
Ham and swiss is one of my favorite comfort foods, so I’d love to sit on my couch all day and down these sandwiches :)

These certainly aren’t your average slider. Oh no, these are so much more. Love! Pinned.

I love these little sandwiches. These are my go to for Superbowl parties. I even cook them on days I just want finger foods. I have never tried with Worcestershire sauce and poppy seeds. I will add those to the sauce. Yes, i agree to use Hawaiian Rolls they are so yummy.
Looks so delicious! I can imagine how delicious these are! The sauce using Worcestershire sauce sounds very good. Perfect breakfast or lunch with the kids!

These look so impossibly delicious, Georgia! Crispy, toasty, and totally CHEESY. Can’t beat that :D pinned!
Made these yesterday for Texans v Cowboys football watching party. They were delicious!!! Thank you and love your website!!
Thinking of making these with homemade Tomato Soup for watching Super Bowl 2015.
I have made these before with cream cheese/chive-onion spread. It is another versatile recipe that will always be a hit, no matter the ingredients. I lovemusing Virginia ham and muenster cheese. A former co-worker over 27 years ago made these all the time for our luncheons.
