How will these ham and swiss sliders make your life easier?

These Hawaiian roll sliders are one of the few recipes that are great for 2-3+ meals. They're packed with sweet & salty flavor, are easy, and sooo good. Make them for a crowd or for easy lunches for the week.

They're great with ham lunchmeat, but they're divine when they're made with leftover ham. So keep this recipe in the back of your head for after Christmas or Easter, if you celebrate, when you've got ham around.

Here are a few other favorite dishes that are great on repeat: Chicken Bacon Sheet Pan Dinner, Korean Beef Bulgogi, Melanie's 30 Minute Turkey Pumpkin Chili, Pear Arugula & Prosciutto Pizza, and my Easy Beef & Broccoli.

How do I make these sliders?

Start by preheating oven to 350 degrees. Slice 9 Hawaiian rolls in half, so there is a top and bottom sheet of rolls. Place bottom half sheet of rolls in an 8x8 baking dish.

Spread ¼ c mayonnaise on the rolls in the pan. Place 4-6 thick slices of ham and 4 slices of swiss cheese on top of the mayonnaise.

Place top half of rolls on top of ham and swiss cheese. Set aside.

Mix together butter mixture to brush on rolls. Add 1 T butter, 1 T dijon mustard, ¼ teaspoon garlic salt, ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon poppy seeds to a microwave safe bowl.

Microwave until butter is mostly melted, about 15 seconds.

Pour butter mixture over rolls, spread evenly with the back of a spoon or pastry brush. Cover with oven safe silicon lid or tin foil. Bake for 12 minutes, then uncover and bake for 3 more, or until tops are crispy and browned.

Remove sandwiches from the oven when browned, and transfer to a cutting board with a spatula or just flip the sliders over onto the cutting board.

Slice around rolls and separate into 9 sliders with a serrated knife, serve immediately or refrigerate for leftovers.

Expert Tips

Use an 8x8 baking dish to cook 9 rolls, a 9x13 dish will fit 12 rolls.
Use more ham if you have thin slices, or really like ham. Same with the cheese. Place top sheet of rolls on top of ham and swiss cheese. Set aside.
They're great cold, heated in the microwave, or broiled to get crunchy on top again.
