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 To Make Ham and Swiss Sliders
- Slice Hawaiian Rolls or soft dinner rolls in half.
- Place the bottom half of the rolls on the bottom of a baking dish, cut side up.
- Then layer slices of ham on top of the bread. (Scroll down below for the printable recipe with the specific ingredient amounts.)
- Add slices of Swiss Cheese on top of the ham slices.
- Place the top half of the rolls on top of the cheese.
How To Make the Garlic Dijon Butter Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian Seasoning, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire. (Scroll down to the printable recipe for the ingredient amounts.)
- Then brush the Garlic Dijon Butter Sauce on top of the sliders before baking them in the oven.
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.

I made batch of these today! My favorite little cheesy sliders. So good!!
Michele says
These are our favorites too! They are so easy and so good!
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.

Tiffany says
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
Kelley says
Hi Michele,
I just tried this recipe today. Threw on a fresh pickle when the sandwich came out of the oven. Holy yumminess!!! Can’t wait for the guy to come home from work to try these! Thank you!
Michele says
Hi Kelley,
I’m so glad you liked it! Thanks for the nice comment!

DK says
Family really enjoyed these sliders. I didn’t have Dijon so used a squirt of spicy brown mustard. My only “complaint “ would be about putting on the butter mixture. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to use all of it. It seemed excessive so just throughly covered the tops and sides. Had about 1/2 left so will freeze and have ready for another meal! Anybody have a recommendation for slicing the sandwiches easily?
Kim says
Will be saving/freezing 1/2 the butter mixture also I’ve made these before and will be making them again!! YUM
Michele says
Hi Kim,
I’m so glad you like them. These Ham and Swiss Sliders are great. That garlic dijon butter mixture can be used in lots of dishes.
Thanks,
Michele
Callie Perez says
I have made these since 2018 and they never disappoint
Mimi says
Made 96 for a birthday party with a few tweaks, used classic dinner rolls, added the Dijon mustard to some mayonnaise and spread on the side with the ham, which was spiral sliced ham, and for cheese half had provolone and half had Swiss then heavily brushed the tops with the butter mixture minus the Dijon on top. Didn’t have any to bring home and everyone loved them
Michele says
Hi Mimi,
I’m so glad everyone loved them. Thanks for leaving the nice comment.
Thanks,
Michele
Gee says
Tastes great. I cut back on the butter by half though.
