Make these super easy, super fast and crowd-pleasing baked Hawaiian ham and cheese sliders for your next party.
A party favorite: juicy ham and Swiss nestled in soft Hawaiian rolls, with a tangy butter, mustard and poppy seed topping. Great for an easy lunch or dinner, these warm, cheesy sliders are perfect for game day and football season.
Baked Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sliders
This is Averie’s recipe from Averie Cooks.
What You’ll Need
butter, cooked deli ham, Dijon mustard, dried minced onion, Hawaiian sweet rolls, poppy seeds, salt and pepper, Swiss cheese, Worcestershire sauce
Makes: 12 sliders. Time: about 35 minutes, most of it in the oven.
Why It Stands Out
- One package of rolls makes a whole tray of twelve, which is why it is a party staple.
- The butter topping is what turns a plain ham and cheese into a party food: savory, a little tangy, and the poppy seeds make them look finished.
- Good to know: the sweet rolls and salty ham are the whole point. If you do not like a sweet bread, use plain slider buns instead.
Tips for Ham and Cheese Sliders
- Use thinly sliced cheese. Thin slices melt evenly in the time the rolls take to warm through.
- Swaps: turkey for the ham, provolone or cheddar for the Swiss. Leftover holiday ham works well; see our ham glaze recipe if you are baking one.
- Make ahead: build the tray, cover it and keep it in the fridge, then add the topping right before it goes in the oven so the rolls do not soak.
- Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat them in the oven, not the microwave, so the tops stay crisp.
