Cast Iron Baked Ham and Swiss Sliders, bursting with flavor, these party sliders are baked in a cast iron skillet and drizzled with a savory butter sauce!
These ham and swiss “party sandwiches” are perfect just for that… a party! But, I can totally see them making an appearance on the dinner table any day of the week.
They are literally everything delicious rolled into one: Sweet. Salty. Melty. Spicy. Crunchy. Soft. Just… wow! Now I might be biased but once you try these you won’t look back.
I absolutely love easy recipes and these Baked Ham and Swiss Sliders are absolutely that, so these make it to our dinner menu more often than not.
Like I said, they are good for appetizers but also really good for dinner or lunch as well which we commonly do around here because the ease of them.
Some of our other favorite sliders that we have on our site include Pulled Pork Sliders, Sloppy Joe Sliders and Cheeseburger Sliders!
WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:
- With only 8 inigredients, most being the topping they are easy to whip up.
- You can cook these in a baking dish rather than a cast iron skillet if you desire.
- You can absolutely double this recipe to serve more people at parties.
Normally I have seen these made with regular rolls or slider buns, but I wanted to kick them up a bit. I used the King’s Hawaiian Jalapeño Rolls and I’m never looking back!
Obviously being from King’s Hawaiian, the rolls on their own are flat out amazing. But add these other layer of yummy goodness and you have one killer sandwich my friends!
As you can see, this recipe is insanely easy. I just love the convenience of cast iron, if you don’t want to use a cast iron pan or don’t have one, just make these in a 9×13 inch baking pan!
If you can’t find the jalapeno version of the buns you can absolutely use any slider buns, King’s Hawaiian just happen to be some of my favorites to use for sliders.
HOW TO MAKE CAST IRON BAKED HAM AND SWISS SLIDERS:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Cut rolls in half so you have a top and a bottom.
-
Layer the bottom of the rolls into a 10 inch cast iron skillet in an even layer.
-
Top with half of the ham, top with all of the cheese, and layer the rest of the ham on top.
-
Top the sandwiches with the top of the rolls.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
-
Evenly pour mixture over the sandwiches.
-
Bake for 10-25 minutes until golden brown on top and the cheese is melty. Serve and enjoy!
I cannot get enough of this savory butter sauce, yum! I seriously think the sauce is really what makes these Ham and Swiss Sliders what they are!
The rolls themselves just soak up all that buttery sauce and soaks in and you have that delicious flavor in each and every single bite.
You really can’t go wrong with that! That is one of my favorite parts is that is really soaks it up nicely without making the sliders soggy.
I mean who would want soggy sliders anyways? These come out with a nice crispy top, melty cheese and just all around delicious flavor!
WHAT OTHER SLIDER BUNS CAN I USE?
Like I said above if you can’t find the jalapeno flavor, you can use any version of King’s Hawaiian sliders buns. Or you can switch to a different brand all together.
There are a lot of good brands that make slider buns out there, so whatever you can find will be fine for this recipe.
Another perfect things about these Cast Iron Baked Ham and Swiss Sliders are that they are done within 10-15 minutes. Whenever your cheese is nice and melty.
You want to make sure that cheese is all melted on the inside for sure, that is a delicious part of these sliders. I hate when you don’t cook a sandwich long enough and the cheese is still solid on the inside.
But with these you will not have to worry about that happening. I found the perfect timing that will give you that crispy top, melty cheese, etc.
Trust me when I say that you want to try these Baked Ham and Swiss Sliders ASAP! You can absolutely switch it up as well if you are not a fan of ham and cheese.
We have used ham and American cheese, Colby jack, Colby Monterey Jack, etc. We just like the flavor of ham and Swiss, but this is really just a base recipe you can build off of.
We don’t have any hard and fast rules here when it comes to these, we just love to enjoy them and that is what the basis for this recipe is for!
