Make these simple, sweet, and savory ham and cheese sliders using Hawaiian rolls, baked until golden brown with a flavorful garlic butter topping. This recipe is perfect for parties or a quick weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 count) package sweet Hawaiian rolls
  • 1 pound thinly sliced deli ham
  • 12 slices Swiss cheese (or cheddar/provolone)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Carefully slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls horizontally, keeping the rolls connected in one piece. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Layer the sliced ham evenly over the bottom layer of rolls. Top the ham with the slices of cheese, distributing them across the surface.
  4. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese layer. Gently press the top down.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, dried minced onion, and garlic powder. If using, stir in the poppy seeds.
  6. Brush the entire top surface of the slider buns evenly with the garlic butter mixture.
  7. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  9. Slice the sliders apart between the rolls and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a slightly tangier flavor, substitute Swiss cheese with sharp cheddar or provolone.
  • You can add thin slices of dill pickle chips between the ham and cheese layers for extra flavor.
  • If you do not have Hawaiian rolls, use soft slider buns, but the sweetness will be less pronounced.
