HAM AND SWISS SLIDERS
Cheesy and buttery, these Ham and Cheese Sliders are mini sandwiches that use Hawaiian Rolls (or soft dinner rolls) instead of sandwich bread and make awesome savory appetizers. Like my other sliders, they are small yet hearty and flavorful.
Most ham and cheese sliders have a poppyseed topping on them. However, I don’t know about you, but I rarely have poppy seeds in my pantry. Instead of poppy seeds, this butter sauce uses minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and Italian seasoning top these sliders.
Serve these hot Ham and Cheese Sliders any time you want to feed a crowd for a party, any party. They are perfect for game day, such as a Super Bowl party or for holiday entertaining.
These Ham and Cheese Sliders are some of our favorite party appetizers, along with Jalapeno Popper Philly Cheesesteak Sliders and Chipotle Lime Chicken Fajita Sliders!
These hearty sliders are easy to make and can be made ahead of time and popped in the oven just before serving.
They are a perfect way to use up leftover ham from my Peach Glazed Spiral Ham recipe or my Crock Pot Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham recipe.

How Long Do I Bake Ham and Swiss Sliders?
- Then bake in a 350 degree F preheated oven for about 15 minutes.
- When they come out of the oven, the sauce has melted into the tops of the sliders and the Swiss cheese has melted over the savory ham, and they look and smell delicious.
- Slice the sliders and serve them while hot! Love that melty cheese and buttery sauce.

Joanna says
Made them today, four Hawaiian rolls for trial before serving on card night this Friday. Delicious! Thank you. I can’t serve company something I have never made. 🙂
Ashley says
This is such a big hit in my house! My husband, parents and sister loved it! My sister called these sliders addicting. Even my in-laws can’t stop eating them.
We replaced the Hawaiian buns with pretzel buns though and I think it’s even better!!
Michele says
Hi Ashley,
Thank you so much for letting me know that you and your family liked them. The pretzel buns sound amazing. I’m going to have to give that a try! Happy Thanksgiving.

My husband is allergic to mustard…would you just skip the Dijon or is there a substitute you would recommend?
Michele says
Hi Tiffany,
Thanks for reaching out. Since the mustard is part of the butter sauce and adds that zesty, tangy flavor, I would not recommend leaving it out without a substitute. A couple of options might be a small amount of horseradish, if your husband can eat that, or maybe a little wasabi.
Let me know what you try and how it turns out.
Thanks,
Michele
