Easy Ham And Swiss Sliders
A comforting and delicious slider recipe featuring warm, melty Swiss cheese and thinly sliced ham, perfect for celebrations or quick meals.
Ingredients
For the Sliders
- 12 pieces soft dinner rolls (slider buns) Choose whole-wheat for a healthier option.
- 12 ounces thinly sliced Swiss cheese Melts beautifully for that ooey-gooey pull.
- 12 ounces thinly sliced ham Deli-style or leftover baked ham both work.
For the Topping
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted Adds richness and crisp tops.
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard A tangy lift; substitute yellow mustard if preferred.
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise For a silky base; Greek yogurt works as a healthier swap.
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional) Classic topping that adds texture.
- 1 teaspoon onion powder Deepens savory flavor.
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional) For a subtle sweet contrast.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice the dinner rolls horizontally in half, keeping them attached if you like pull-apart sliders. Place the bottom halves in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Layer ham evenly over the bottom buns, folding slices slightly for a pillowy rise. Then layer Swiss cheese on top of the ham.
- Place the top halves of the rolls on the cheese to form a sandwich.
- In a small bowl, whisk melted butter, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, onion powder, and honey (if using). Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
- Sprinkle poppy seeds evenly across the tops.
Baking
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 12 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 3–6 minutes until the tops are golden and cheese is melty.
- Let cool for a couple of minutes, then pull apart and serve warm.
Notes
To make them spicy, add a thin spread of horseradish or chipotle mayo. For a festive twist, add pineapple and use Monterey Jack cheese. You can also make them vegetarian with smoked tempeh so that it fits any occasion.
