Easy Ham and Cheese Sliders

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 pack Hawaiian sweet rolls (12 count)
• 12 slices deli ham
• 6 slices Swiss cheese (or cheddar)
• 1/2 cup butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

How to Make Ham and Cheese Sliders

Step 1: Prep the Rolls

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Slice the entire pack of rolls in half horizontally (keep them connected).

Step 2: Layer the Goodness

Place the bottom half in a baking dish.
Add ham evenly across the rolls, then layer the cheese on top.
Place the top half of the rolls back on.

Step 3: Make the Buttery Sauce

In a bowl, mix together melted butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and poppy seeds.

Step 4: Pour and Soak

Pour the mixture evenly over the sliders, making sure every roll gets coated.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove foil and bake another 5 minutes until the tops are golden and slightly crispy.

Tips for the Best Sliders

• Let the sliders sit for 5 minutes before serving so they hold together better
• Don’t skip the butter mixture — that’s where all the flavor comes from
• Use foil for the first half of baking to keep them soft and melty
• Add extra cheese if your family loves it extra gooey

Easy Variations to Try

Switch things up depending on what you have at home:

• Turkey and cheese sliders
• Roast beef and provolone sliders
• Add scrambled eggs for breakfast sliders
• Add pickles for a tangy twist
• Use pepper jack cheese for a little kick

How to Store and Reheat

To store:
