One Pan Ham and Cheese Sliders
These One Pan Ham and Cheese Sliders are a comforting, easy-to-make dish perfect for any occasion, featuring warm buttery rolls, melted cheese, and savory ham.
Ingredients
For the Sliders
- 12 pieces soft dinner rolls split horizontally for easy layering
- 10 ounces thinly sliced ham use leftover ham or deli-style for convenience
- 8 ounces Swiss cheese, sliced or Gruyere for nuttier flavor
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted for brushing and that golden top
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard adds brightness
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds optional, a classic topping that looks festive
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder for gentle savory warmth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning fragrant and comforting
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley for freshness after baking
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise optional, mixed with 1 teaspoon honey for a sweet-savory glaze
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a shallow ovenproof skillet.
- Slice the dinner rolls in half horizontally. Arrange the bottom halves snugly in the dish so there are no gaps.
- Layer the ham evenly over the bottom rolls, folding slices if needed.
- Place the Swiss cheese over the ham in a single layer.
- Add the top halves of the rolls, pressing gently to compact everything.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, oregano, and poppy seeds. Brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls.
- If using the honey-mayo glaze, brush lightly over the butter mix.
Baking
- Bake uncovered for 18–22 minutes, until the tops are golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and let rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Make-ahead: Assemble the sliders in the baking dish, cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bake straight from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes to cook time. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
