Key Ingredients and Shopping Notes

King’s Hawaiian Rolls

These sweet rolls serve as the ideal base for your sliders. Their soft, fluffy texture perfectly complements the savory fillings. You can find them in the bread section of your grocery store.

Ham

Thinly-sliced deli ham, such as Black Forest, adds a deliciously smoky and savory flavor to the sliders. Feel free to choose your favorite type of ham for a personal touch.

Cheese

We recommend using a combination of sharp cheddar and Swiss cheese. This mix provides a rich, creamy flavor that melts wonderfully. You can experiment with other cheeses according to your taste.

Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise serves as a creamy base for the Dijon spread. It helps to bind the flavors together and adds a touch of richness.

Dijon Mustard

Dijon mustard gives the sliders a zesty punch. It complements the ham and cheese beautifully, enhancing the overall flavor profile.

Butter

Unsalted butter adds richness and helps create a golden, crispy top layer when baked. It’s essential for that delicious buttery flavor.

Poppy Seeds

Poppy seeds add a delightful crunch and visual appeal to the sliders. They enhance the buttery topping and provide a unique texture.

Worcestershire Sauce

This sauce adds a depth of flavor that complements the ham and cheese perfectly. Just a touch goes a long way!

Onion Powder

Onion powder brings a subtle savory flavor that rounds out the taste of the sliders. It melds wonderfully with the other ingredients.

How to Make Baked Ham and Cheese Sliders

Step 1: Prep the Rolls

Start by mixing the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl to create the spread. Then slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half and place them cut side up on a baking sheet. Broil the rolls for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted, watching closely to prevent burning.

Step 2: Prepare the Baking Dish

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray. This will ensure that your sliders don’t stick and can be easily removed after baking.

Step 3: Make the Dijon-Mayo Spread and Assemble the Sliders

Place the bottom half of the rolls in the baking dish and spread half of the mayo mixture evenly on them. Next, layer the cheddar cheese, followed by the ham, and then the Swiss cheese. Spread the remaining mayo mixture on the top half of the rolls and place it over the Swiss cheese layer.

Step 4: Bake the Sliders

In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, onion powder, and salt. Pour this mixture over the assembled sliders. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Let the sliders cool for a few minutes before cutting into individual servings.

Serving Ham and Cheese Sliders

These sliders can be served warm, straight from the oven, for an irresistible treat. They make a fantastic main dish, serving 3 sliders per person comfortably. If you’re offering them as an appetizer, 1-2 sliders per person will be ideal. Pair these sliders with a fresh salad, some crunchy vegetables, or a bowl of soup for a complete meal that satisfies all appetites.
