Baked Swiss Cheese and Ham Sliders Recipe

Cheese and Ham Sliders, bursting with flavor, these party sliders are baked and drizzled with a savory butter sauce!

These cheese and ham sliders, or “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.

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!

If you can’t find the jalapeno version of the buns you can absolutely use any slider buns for these Cheese and Ham Sliders. King’s Hawaiian just happen to be some of my favorites to use for sliders.

1. With only 8 inigredients, most being the topping they are easy to whip up.
2. You can cook these in a baking dish rather than a cast iron skillet if you desire.
3. You can absolutely double this recipe to serve more people at parties.

• King’s Hawaiian Jalapeño Rolls
• Deli ham, sliced thin
• Deli Swiss cheese, sliced thin
• Melted unsalted butter
• Poppy seeds
• Dijon mustard
• Worcestershire sauce
• Chopped dried onion

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cut rolls in half so you have a top and a bottom.
3. Layer the bottom of the rolls into a 10 inch cast iron skillet in an even layer.
4. Top with half of the ham, top with all of the cheese, and layer the rest of the ham on top.
5. Top the sandwiches with the top of the rolls.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
7. Evenly pour the mixture over the sandwiches.
8. 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 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.

ANY ADDITIONS?

I like to spice these up with some extra jalapenos. You can do whatever you want with these, really!

• Brown Sugar Glaze: Brush a mixture of melted butter and brown sugar over the tops of the rolls before baking. It’s a great way to add sweetness to the savory ham and create a yummy combo of salty ham and sweet glaze.
• Garlic Butter Spread: Use a buttery mixture of melted butter, garlic powder, and onion powder to brush over the top buns. This adds even more flavor to these tasty sliders.
• Sesame Seeds or Poppy Seeds: Sprinkle sesame seeds or extra poppy seeds on the buttery rolls before baking for a little crunch on your mini sandwiches.
• Extra Cheese Layers: Add more slices of cheese like cheddar cheese or pepper jack between the layers of ham for even more melty Swiss cheese goodness.
• Caramelized Onions: Include caramelized onions between the ham slices and cheese for a sweet and savory touch that makes this easy recipe even better.
• Bacon Bits: Sprinkle cooked bacon bits over the ham slices because, let’s face it, bacon is always the best part of any meal!
• Pineapple Slices: Add thin pineapple slices for a Hawaiian ham twist, enhancing the sweetness of the Hawaiian rolls.
• Honey Mustard Drizzle: Drizzle honey mustard over the layers of ham before adding the cheese for an extra tangy kick.
• Jalapeño Slices: For those who like it spicy, add jalapeño slices to your hot ham and cheese sliders.
• Fresh Herbs: Garnish with chopped parsley or chives after baking for a pop of color and freshness on your perfect party food.

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

Check it out! Any part of this sandwich can be swapped out for whatever reason.

• Different Cheese: Swap the Swiss cheese with cheddar cheese, provolone, or mozzarella to suit your taste buds.
• Alternate Meat: Use turkey, roast beef, or leftover holiday ham instead of the regular ham slices for a change.
• Different Rolls: If you can’t find King’s Hawaiian Jalapeño Rolls, use King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, soft Hawaiian rolls, regular dinner rolls, or any slider rolls you prefer.
• Mustard Options: Replace Dijon mustard with yellow mustard, spicy brown mustard, or even honey mustard for a different flavor.
• Gluten-Free Rolls: Substitute with gluten-free slider rolls to accommodate a gluten-free calorie diet.
